Four hundred eighty five words begin with G, and two letters tie for the lead in the second box.
A takes the second box in eighty nine of the four hundred eighty five and R takes eighty eight, which is as close to level as a page this size gets. O follows on sixty seven, L on sixty two and U on fifty seven.
GREAT, GROUP, GRAND, GLASS and GUESS are the entries most likely to be wanted, with GIANT, GOING and GRACE behind them.
U takes the second box in fifty seven words, and in GUESS, GUARD, GUIDE and GUILT it does nothing you can hear. The G stays hard and the U is pure spelling.
That makes the U branch easy to overlook. If your puzzle has ruled out the obvious vowels, it is the branch to check next.
S closes one hundred thirty six of the four hundred eighty five, twenty eight percent, with Y on seventy one and E on sixty three.
E fills the fourth box in seventy three words, fifteen percent, which is the only fourth box letter with real weight.
Eighty eight words repeat a letter, eighteen percent. GREEN, GLASS, GOOSE and GRASS are the shapes behind most of that.
It is among the strongest. It tests the R branch, the common E fourth box and the T ending in one turn.
Fifty seven words take it, and the U is silent in the common ones. Players who sound words out in their head tend to skip it entirely.
Seventy one, which is fifteen percent. That is a high share and it comes mostly from adjectives like GRIMY, GAUDY and GUSTY.
