The TR Group Is Unusually Well Balanced

The top three branches sit within a couple of words of each other, which almost never happens on a page this size.

That means a third box guess is genuinely informative here. Whichever vowel you test, you eliminate roughly a fifth of the page rather than a sliver.

TRACE, TRAIL, TRAIN, TREND, TRIAL, TRICK, TRUCK and TRUST spread across most of those branches, so a couple of guesses cover the useful vocabulary.

Where the TR Words Cluster at the End

S closes twenty three of the ninety six, twenty four percent, with E on fifteen, T on eleven and K on nine. The K is high for a final letter and comes from TRACK, TRICK and TRUCK.

Eleven words repeat a letter, eleven percent, mostly the doubled E and doubled O of TREES and TROOP. A visible double narrows the page usefully without settling it.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is TRAIN or TRUST the better opening

Both are common and they test different vowels. TRAIN also covers N in the fourth box, which more words here take than any other letter.

Can a consonant follow TR

No. All six letters in that box are vowels or Y, so the third letter is a vowel choice before you begin.

How many TR words end in K

Nine, which is nine percent. TRACK, TRICK and TRUCK are the ones you would reach for.
