Ninety four words start with LI, and two letters take almost two fifths of the third box.
N takes the third box in twenty of the ninety four, twenty one percent, and M takes seventeen. Together that is thirty seven of the page, well ahead of T and V on seven each.
LINEN, LINER, LINES, LINED, LINKS and LINGO all come from it, and most are ordinary words.
The catch is how alike they are. LINED, LINEN, LINER, LINES and LINEY differ only at the end, so a guess inside LIN confirms three letters and leaves the real question open.
E fills the fourth box in twenty three of the ninety four, twenty four percent, which is what produces that cluster.
LIGHT, LIMIT, LIVER, LILAC and LIKED are the useful entries elsewhere. LIGHT in particular shares almost nothing with the LIN branch, which makes it a good splitter.
S closes twenty eight of the ninety four, thirty percent, with E, R and N on nine each. Only four words repeat a letter, so a visible double narrows the page well.
LIGHT. It is more common and it sits outside the crowded LIN branch, so a hit or a miss both tell you more.
Only in the last box, and LINED, LINES and LINEY sit on the same stem. That cluster is the main trap on this page.
A detection system using laser light. It is one of the technical entries, sitting in the D branch.
