684 five letter words start with F, and the second box is spread more evenly here than on most pages.
A leads at about eighteen percent, L at seventeen, I and O at fourteen each, R at thirteen and E at twelve. Six branches inside six points.
FLASH, FLOOR, FRAME, FRONT and FRESH sit on the two blends, which take thirty percent between them.
That is a larger share than either of the two leading vowel branches, so on this page the blends are the sensible thing to test first.
FIRST is the most common entry in the whole group and its I, R, S and T are all high frequency letters.
Very few openers on any letter test four common letters at once, which makes it unusually strong for a first guess.
If FIRST misses, FOUND covers the O branch and brings four fresh letters, so the two together clear a lot of ground.
For this group, yes. It is both the most common word here and one of the most informative, which rarely happens together.
Structurally yes, both push the vowel into the third box. But FR holds more everyday words, so it is the better of the two to test.
FIELD and FEELS style words, where the E is followed by another vowel. It is the smallest of the six branches and the least productive.
