141 five letter words start with LO, and the third box is one of the flattest in the whole set.
A second O takes about thirteen percent, U eleven and R nine. C, G and T sit at seven, and after that it scatters into ones and twos.
LOCAL, LOGIN, LOANS, LOWER and LOOKS are the most common entries, and each sits on a different third letter.
LOGIC, LODGE, LOVED and LOOSE follow them, which gives the group a solid stock of ordinary words despite the spread.
LOOKS, LOOSE, LOOPS and LOOTS all double the O, and that branch is the largest single shape on the page at thirteen percent.
LOCAL is the natural opener, being the most common entry, though its repeated L costs a box. LOADS tests five distinct letters if you would rather keep them all working.
LO sits in front of a wide range of unrelated roots, and unlike RE or UN it is not a prefix, so no single letter accumulates behind it.
They differ in the last box alone, so landing either one settles the other. Both are common enough to be worth the guess.
Its U and S sit on branches that most of the group misses, which makes it a reasonable late guess once the busier shapes have failed.
