Five hundred ten words begin with D, and every vowel plus R opens a branch of real size.
O takes the second box in one hundred six of the five hundred ten, E in one hundred one, I in eighty one, R in sixty eight, A in sixty six and U in sixty five. Only ten letters appear there, and the largest are within a few dozen words of each other.
DREAM, DRINK, DRIVE, DROVE and DRAFT are the common entries, with DRESS, DRAWN and DRILL behind them.
It holds sixty eight words, thirteen percent of the page, and it is much the largest of the consonant branches, ahead of Y, W, H and J put together. That makes a DR guess the one consonant opening worth spending a turn on.
DOUBT, DOZEN and DOING come from O. DELAY, DEPTH and DEBUT come from E. DAILY and DAIRY come from A, DIRTY and DITCH from I, and DUTCH and DUVET from U. Each branch holds ordinary words, so none is a wasted guess.
S closes one hundred sixty of the five hundred ten, thirty one percent, and Y another eighty four, sixteen percent. Between them they take two hundred forty four of the page, which is the biggest single cut here.
It is among the strongest. It tests the largest consonant branch and the common E fourth box at the same time.
Eighty four do, sixteen percent, which is high. Adjectives like DAILY, DIRTY, DUSTY and DANDY account for most of them.
Hardly. Only ten letters appear in that box and apart from R they are vowels, plus a couple of Y and W entries.
