Forty nine words start with IN, and the third box spreads across more letters than the count can support.

What the IN Opening Tells You

D takes the third box in seven of the forty nine, with C, T, F and U on five or fewer. Nineteen different letters appear there, which is a very wide spread for a page this size.

The IN Words in General Use

INDEX, INEPT, INNER, INPUT and INFER are the entries most likely to be wanted, with INLAY, INSET and INTRO behind them.

Why Confirming IN Narrows So Little

IN is a prefix rather than a stem, so the words behind it are unrelated to each other. INDEX, INEPT, INFER, INPUT and INURE share nothing beyond the opening pair.

That means landing on IN confirms two letters and tells you almost nothing about the other three. E and R take the fourth box in twenty one of the forty nine between them, which is the only useful pattern left.

T closes ten of the forty nine, twenty percent, with E and R on eight each. Only two words repeat a letter, so a visible double narrows this page sharply.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is INDEX the best IN opening

It is among the most common and it tests the largest third box branch. INPUT is the natural follow up since it moves to a different letter there.

Why does the IN page narrow so slowly

The prefix attaches to unrelated stems, so confirming it gives you two letters and no structure. Nineteen letters appear in the third box alone.

What is an INRUN

The approach slope on a ski jump. It is one of the entries that fills out the count without adding anything you would guess.
