The CAR Words Are Worth Testing First

CARRY, CARGO, CARVE, CARDS and CARTS all come from the R branch, which is the largest on the page and the densest in ordinary words.

E fills the fourth box in thirty five of the one hundred thirty nine, twenty five percent, which produces the usual near duplicates. CAGED, CAGER and CAGES differ only at the end, and CAKED, CAKEY and CAKES mirror them.

What to Test First on a CA Page

S closes forty of the one hundred thirty nine, twenty nine percent, with Y and E on sixteen each. CAUSE tests the E fourth box and the E ending together, which covers a lot in one turn.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is CARRY or CAUSE the better opening

CARRY tests the largest branch and CAUSE tests the common E fourth box. Either works, though CAUSE shares less with its neighbours.

The E fourth box turns short stems into matched triples, as with CAGED, CAGER and CAGES. That pattern repeats across several stems.

How many CA words end in S

Forty, which is twenty nine percent. Y and E follow on sixteen each.
