122 five letter words start with LE, and the A branch holds more of the everyday words than its share suggests.

The Third Letter After LE

A leads at about seventeen percent and N at eleven. P takes eight, then G, a second E and V at seven each.

That is a flatter spread than most, so the third box on its own rarely decides the word here.

Where the LE Words Go Outside LEA

LEVEL, LEGAL, LEMON and LEVER cover the smaller branches, and none of them shares much with the LEA family beyond the opening pair.

LEARN is the guess to open with. It covers the dominant family and its R and N are two of the commonest letters in the last two boxes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is LEVEL worth guessing

Not really. It repeats both its L and its E, so it tests three distinct letters and wastes two boxes.

How close are LEADS and LEAST

They share three letters and split across the last two, so a guess on either narrows the LEA family considerably.

How many LE words are names

A fair share, particularly on the W and I branches. The count is real but the playable list is shorter.
