Only eighteen words hold T second and R third, and almost every one of them starts with a three consonant run.
S takes sixteen of the eighteen, and each of those opens STR. Three consonants in a row would sink most languages, and English uses this one freely in STRIP, STRAP and STRAW.
A takes the fourth box in six of the eighteen and I in five, with O on three. STRAP, STRIP and STROP show the three branches.
ATRIA and ATRIP are the entries outside the S branch. An atrium is a chamber of the heart or an open hall, and ATRIP describes an anchor just clear of the bottom.
They differ in the fourth box, which is the main split here. Either one tells you whether to look at the A branch or the I branch.
Short for streptococcus, the bacterium behind strep throat. It is informal but entirely standard in medical speech.
To destroy, an archaic shortened form. STROW, a variant of strew, sits beside it and is equally old.
