849 five letter words begin with M, and more than half of them take A or O as the second letter.
A takes about thirty one percent and O twenty three, so those two branches carry over half the group between them. I and E follow at fifteen each and U at twelve.
MUSIC, MEDIA, MONEY, MODEL and MOVIE are the most common entries, and four of the five sit on the O or E branch.
M forms no working consonant blend at the start of an English word. There is no MR, ML or MT opening, so the second box is a vowel in virtually every entry.
That is unusual and it makes M easier to work with than most consonants, since one of five vowels will be sitting there.
MONEY or MODEL covers the O branch, MARCH or MATCH the A branch. Between one from each you have tested the two halves that hold most of the group.
Y is the only non vowel worth a thought, and at two percent it is a last resort rather than a plan.
M sits at the front of a syllable and needs a vowel to carry it. The blends that work elsewhere, like BR and CL, have no equivalent with M.
It is the most common word here but its U and C are both uncommon in the wider list, so it rules out less than MONEY or MATCH would.
MEDIA and MONTH. Between them they test five different letters and cover the A, E and O branches at once.
