PEACE, PEACH, PEARL, PEAKS and PEARS all come from the A branch, and every one of them is an ordinary word. That is a far better hit rate than the R branch manages.

The PE Words Beyond the PEA Branch

PENNY, PEDAL, PECAN, PERCH and PETAL are the useful entries elsewhere. PENNY doubles the N and is one of the nineteen repeats on the page, the largest share of which come from the doubled E of PEEKS, PEELS and PEERS.

  • PENNY

  • PECAN
  • PERCH
  • PETAL

S closes thirty of the eighty three, thirty six percent, which is very high, with Y on fifteen. Between them they take more than half the last box, so ruling both out is the biggest cut available.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is PEACE or PEARL the better opening

Both are common and they differ in the last two boxes. PEARL tests the R fourth box and the L ending, neither of which PEACE covers.

Forty five of the eighty three do. Plurals of short nouns and adjectives in Y make up much of the middle of this list.

What is a PEKOE

A grade of black tea. It sits in the K branch alongside PEKAN and PEKES.
