Thirty eight words put T first and P third, and Y takes the second box more often than it has any right to.

Y Pulls More Weight Than Usual in T and P Words

O leads the second box on twelve words and A follows on nine, but Y takes seven, which is eighteen percent. TYPAL, TYPED, TYPES, TYPIC, TYPOS and TYPPS all come from it, and most players never test a Y there.

Two Pairs That Resolve Each Other in T and P Words

TAPER and TOPER differ in the second box, as do TAPED and TOPED. Confirming that letter resolves both pairs at once, which is unusually efficient for a page of thirty eight.

  • TAPER
  • TOPIC
  • TYPES
  • TEPID
  • TAPIR

Where T and P Words Break the Pairing

TOPIC, TOPAZ, TEPID and TAPIR sit outside the mirrored stems and each uses a different fourth letter. Any of them tells you more in one turn than another TAPE or TOPE guess.

E fills the fourth box in fourteen of the thirty eight, thirty seven percent, with I on eight. Between them those two cover most of the page.

S closes twelve of the thirty eight, thirty two percent, well ahead of D and E on four each. Five words repeat a letter, mostly the doubled P of TAPPA, TIPPY and TYPPS.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I really try a Y here

Yes. Seven of the thirty eight take it in the second box, which is the third largest branch. TYPES is common enough to be a reasonable guess.

Is TOPAZ worth a turn

It is the only word here ending in Z, so it either wins outright or eliminates one entry. Use it late rather than early.

What is a TUPIK

A skin tent used in the Arctic. TUPEK is a variant spelling and both sit in the U branch.
