Twenty seven words start with EN, and the prefix explains almost all of them.

The EN Words Spread Thin After the Prefix

D takes the third box in five of the twenty seven, with A, O and T on three each. Fourteen letters appear there, which is wide for a page this size.

EN Works as a Prefix, Not a Family

ENACT, ENROL, ENSUE, ENDOW and ENJOY are all built by attaching EN to a stem, and none is related to the others. Confirming the opening pair tells you two letters and nothing about the shape behind them.

Opening an EN Puzzle

E and O take the fourth box in ten of the twenty seven between them, with R on four.

Y closes five words, nineteen percent, and E takes four. Between them they cover a third of the last box.

Only one word on the page repeats a letter, so a visible double settles it at once.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is ENTER or ENJOY the better guess

Both are very common and they differ in three boxes. ENJOY also tests the Y ending, which five words here take.

Why does confirming EN help so little

It is a prefix attached to unrelated stems, so the letters behind it follow no pattern. Fourteen letters appear in the third box alone.

What is ENMEW

To shut away or confine, an old spelling of immew. It is the kind of entry that fills the count without being guessable.
