98 five letter words start with TI, and no third letter takes more than about one in seven.
N leads at about fourteen percent, L at twelve and M at eleven. A second T takes nine, then R at eight and B at six.
TIMES, TITLE, TIGHT, TIGER and TIRED are the most common entries, and they reach five different third letters.
TIMES, TIMER and TIMED share TIM, while TIRED and TIRES share TIR. Both pairs split only across the last two boxes.
TIMES is the best single opener. It covers the largest three letter shape and its E and S are the two commonest endings in the group.
TIGHT is the follow up if the M misses, since its G and H reach a branch that nothing else common uses.
Yes, it uses T in the first and third boxes. About one entry in eleven here does the same, so a repeated T is a useful test.
They differ in the last box alone, so a guess on either settles the other. Both are common enough to be worth playing.
Its D and A sit on branches most of the group misses, which makes it a reasonable guess once the busier shapes have failed.
