Frequently Asked Questions

Is CAUSE or CABLE the better second guess

CAUSE. Its U and E test a branch CABLE does not reach, and the S ending is far more common here than L.

Does CACHE belong in ordinary use

Yes, though it turns up more in writing about computers than in speech. It sits on the C branch, which is small.

How many CA words are names

A fair number, mostly on the R and M branches. The count is real but the usable list is shorter than it looks.
