The UD Words You Are Most Likely to Want

  • AUDIO
  • AUDIT
  • FUDGE
  • KUDOS

The UDGE Family Is the Tighter Cluster

BUDGE, FUDGE, JUDGE, NUDGE and PUDGE all share their last four letters and differ in the opening box alone. G takes the fourth box in six of the thirty seven.

The Doubled D Family Runs Alongside It

BUDDY, CUDDY, DUDDY, MUDDY, NUDDY, PUDDY and RUDDY all double the D and close on Y. D takes the fourth box in nine of the thirty seven, slightly ahead of G.

Between the two clusters most of this page is accounted for, and both share the same weakness. Each differs only at the front, which is the one box the pattern leaves entirely open.

Where UD Words Finish

Y and S each close ten of the thirty seven, with E on six. The Y ending belongs almost entirely to the doubled D words.

So the last letter is a reasonable early test. It splits the page between the two big families before you commit to an opening letter.
