T first and T third gives 40 words, and no letter takes more than a quarter of the box between them.
I leads at twenty three percent, then A and U at twenty and E and O at eighteen. Five branches inside five points of each other.
With a spread that even there is no branch worth chasing, so pick a first guess for what its other three boxes rule out.
TOTAL and TITLE are far and away the two most common entries, and TUTOR, TITAN and TOTEM cover three more of the five branches between them.
Every word here uses T twice, so a T coming back in two boxes is not new information. What matters is which vowel sits between them.
TOTAL is the strongest single opener because it covers the O branch while testing A and L, both of which turn up across the other branches.
TITLE is the natural follow up, since it moves to the leading branch and keeps only the T and L you already know about.
No. TASTE puts A in the second box and S in the third, with the T fourth. The T needs to sit one place earlier.
TUTTI and TOTTY both add a third T in the fourth box. They are rare, but worth remembering if a T keeps coming back green.
The O branch. TOTAL and TOTEM are both in common use, which is less true of the E branch where the leading entries are rare or technical.
