Four hundred eighty four words begin with F, and the letter after it splits more evenly than on most pages.

An Unusually Even Spread After F

L takes the second box in eighty nine of the four hundred eighty four, A in eighty three, I in seventy, O in sixty six, R in sixty three, E in sixty and U in forty eight. Only nine letters appear there, and most of them sit close together.

  • FIRST
  • FLAME
  • FRONT
  • FOUND
  • FIELD

The FL and FR Blends

FLAME, FLASH, FLOOR, FLUID and FLOCK carry the L branch. FRONT, FRESH, FRAME, FRUIT and FROST carry R.

Together they hold one hundred fifty two of the four hundred eighty four, and both are dense with ordinary words. A guess in either one is worth more than the raw count suggests.

  • FLAME
  • FLASH
  • FRONT
  • FRESH
  • FRUIT

Why FIRST Is the Word to Beat

FIRST tests I in the second box, R in the third and S and T at the end, all of which appear widely across the page.

S closes one hundred forty three of the four hundred eighty four, thirty percent, and E fills the fourth box in ninety seven. FIRST touches neither, which is why it pairs well with FLAME.

Sixty one words repeat a letter, thirteen percent, mostly the doubled L and doubled O of FLOOR, FALLS and FOODS. Y closes sixty five words, which is higher than most letters manage.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is FIRST or FLAME the better opening

They test almost nothing in common, which makes them a strong pair. FLAME covers the largest branch, FIRST covers the S ending.

How many F words start with a blend

One hundred fifty two of the four hundred eighty four take L or R in the second box. Everything else there is a vowel.

Which ending should I expect

S, on one hundred forty three words, thirty percent. Y follows on sixty five and E on fifty four.
