Only eighteen words carry T second and U third, and two French borrowings sit among them.
STUDY, STUFF, STUCK, STUNT and STUMP are the entries in ordinary use. STUDS, STUBS and STUNG all come up often enough to matter.
An etude is a musical study written to develop technique, and Chopin and Debussy both left famous sets of them. ETUIS are small ornamental cases for needles or instruments.
Both kept their French spelling intact, and both open with E rather than S. They are the only entries here that do.
N takes it in four of the eighteen and D in three, with ten letters appearing there overall. STUNT, STUNG, STUDY and STUDS show the two busiest shapes.
S closes five of the eighteen, more than any other letter, and most of those are plain plurals of short nouns.
STUDY tests the D and Y, neither of which STUFF reaches, and it avoids the doubled F. It is the stronger first move.
A small decorated case for holding needles, scissors or cosmetics. ETUIS is the plural and the form that fits this pattern.
Trouble, strife or disturbance, in Scots. STULL and STULM, both mining terms, sit at the same obscure end of the page.
A domed Buddhist shrine built to hold relics. STUPE, a medicated compress, sits beside it and is unrelated.
Two of the eighteen do, and both of them double the F in the same place.
