One hundred eight words begin with Y, and the last box is more predictable than anything else on the page.
O takes the second box in thirty three of the one hundred eight, thirty one percent, A in twenty nine and E in twenty three. U adds twelve and I adds eight.
Those three leading vowels cover eighty five of the page between them, so the second box is effectively a three way choice.
YOUNG, YOUTH, YIELD, YEAST and YACHT are the entries a puzzle is most likely to want, with YEARN, YOURS and YUMMY behind them.
The O branch holds YOUNG, YOUTH and YOURS, the E branch holds YEAST and YEARN, and YIELD stands alone in the I branch of eight words.
So the vocabulary is spread across branches rather than concentrated in the largest one, which means a guess in any of the three main vowels is reasonable.
S closes forty seven of the one hundred eight, forty four percent, which is the highest share of any letter on this page by a wide margin. Ruling out a plural removes nearly half the list in one move.
It is among the strongest. It tests the largest branch and avoids the S ending that nearly half the page takes.
Forty seven of the one hundred eight do, forty four percent. Most are plurals of short nouns, which is what fills the middle of this list.
Seventeen, which is sixteen percent. YUMMY, YABBY and YAKKA are the shapes behind it.
