Forty six words put T second and O third, and only two letters ever open them.
S takes thirty nine of the forty six and A takes seven. Nothing else appears there at all, which is extraordinary for a group of this size.
Most pages with forty six entries spread across a dozen or more openers. Here the first letter is a coin flip weighted heavily towards S, and the real work sits further along.
STORE, STOCK, STORY, STONE and STORM are the most common. STOOD, STOPS, ATOMS, STOVE and STOOL all come up regularly.
N leads on seven of the forty six, but eighteen letters appear there altogether and nothing else reaches beyond four.
That combination is unusual. A first box with two options and a fourth box this scattered pushes almost the whole puzzle into one position.
ATOMS is the only entry a general reader would produce. ATOLL is recognisable, and ATOKE, ATOMY, ATONE, ATONY and ATOPY run from biology to medicine to poetry.
ATONE is the pick of them. It is ordinary English and easy to forget on a page otherwise dominated by ST words.
They differ in the fourth box and the last. STORE tests the R, which is busier there, so it edges STONE as a first move.
A genetic tendency towards allergic reactions such as eczema and asthma. It is standard medical vocabulary.
A verandah or raised platform at the front of a house, in South African English. It shares a root with stoop.
A stook is a group of sheaves stood upright in a field, and to stoop is to bend forward. The final letter is all that divides them.
