Why the A and E Branches on T and W Pages Stay Thin

TAWNY is the only word in the A branch most people would produce. TAWED, TAWER, TAWIE and TAWSE are all valid and all obscure.

The E branch is thinner still, holding TEWED, TEWEL and TEWIT, none of which you would reach for. So the practical page is the O branch plus TAWNY.

The TOW Family in T and W Words

TOWEL, TOWER, TOWNS and TOWED are the common entries, with TOWIE, TOWNY and TOWSY behind them. TOWEL and TOWER differ only in the last box.

E fills the fourth box in seven of the fifteen, forty seven percent, which is the strongest fact on the page. Assume it rather than test it.

D, E and Y each close three words, with R and L on two apiece. Nothing dominates the last box, which is where most of the work ends up.

Nothing here repeats a letter either, so a visible double rules the pattern out in a single step.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is TOWEL or TOWER more likely

Both are very common and they differ only in the last box. If the fifth letter is open, neither is a good use of a turn.

Is TAWNY worth guessing early

Yes. It is the only reachable word outside the O branch, so it either wins or tells you the answer is a TOW word.

What is a TEWIT

A lapwing. It sits in the E branch with TEWED and TEWEL and is the least likely entry on the page.
