One thousand two hundred thirty six words begin with S, by some distance the fullest letter on the site.
S forms a blend with more consonants than any other letter. T takes the second box in one hundred fifty nine words, H in one hundred twenty three, P in one hundred eighteen and C in eighty six.
A and E add two hundred twenty five more as plain vowels. Sixteen letters appear there in total, which is why the page runs to one thousand two hundred thirty six.
STAND, SHOUT, SPEAK, SCALE and SOUND come from different second letters and share almost nothing. Guessing across them covers more ground than several words from one branch.
The third box is more decisive than the second. A takes it in two hundred four words, I in one hundred sixty one and O in one hundred fifty nine.
S also closes two hundred eighty words, twenty three percent, so many entries open and close on the same letter.
One hundred fifty five words repeat a letter and E fills the fourth box in one hundred seventy one. With a list this size, expect several guesses rather than one clever one.
The third box. A, I and O take five hundred twenty four of the one thousand two hundred thirty six between them.
It blends with T, H, P, C, K, L, M, N and W, and also works as a plain opening before a vowel. No other letter does both at that scale.
Two hundred eighty, which is twenty three percent. Confirming or ruling out that ending is the most valuable single fact here.
