The PE Words in Ordinary Use

PENNY, PEERS, PEDAL, PESTS and PETTY cover the other branches, and none of them shares much with the PEA family beyond the opening pair.

  • PEACE
  • PEARL
  • PENNY
  • PEACH
  • PEDAL

PEACE is the sensible opener. It covers the busiest three letter shape and its C and E are common enough that a miss still narrows the field.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is PEARL or PEACH the better second guess

PEARL. Its R and L reach two separate branches while the CH in PEACH appears in very little else here.

What sits on the doubled E branch

PEERS and PEEKS among others. At ten percent it is worth testing once the A and R shapes have failed.

How many PE words are names

A fair share, clustered on the R and T branches. The count is real but the playable list is shorter.
