Sixty six words carry U second and M third, and one ending dominates the page.
P takes the fourth box in nineteen of the sixty six, more than any other letter. BUMPS, DUMPS, HUMPS, JUMPS, LUMPS, MUMPS, PUMPS and RUMPS all sit there, with BUMPY, DUMPY, JUMPY and LUMPY beside them.
Every one of those differs in the first box alone. It is a large cluster that the pattern cannot help you resolve, so the opening letter has to be tested directly.
DUMMY, GUMMY, MUMMY, TUMMY and YUMMY all double the M and close on Y. M takes the fourth box in eleven of the sixty six, second only to P.
HUMAN, HUMOR, TUMOR, JUMBO and RUMOR are the entries in general use outside the two clusters. PUMPS and JUMPS are the likeliest from inside them.
S closes twenty of the sixty six and Y closes seventeen. Between them they take more than half the last box, which reflects how many entries are plurals or Y adjectives.
HUMAN tests the H, A and N and sits outside both clusters. PUMPS confirms the commonest shape but leaves a cluster of near identical words in play.
A thick Louisiana stew of meat or seafood with okra. JUMBO and BUMBO sit in the same shape and are unrelated to it.
A unit of light output, and separately the cavity inside a tube or vessel in biology. NUMEN, a presiding spirit, sits one letter away.
Useless printed material or paperwork, British informal. HUMPH, an expression of doubt, shares its shape.
Not at all. Both end in the American OR spelling and the resemblance stops there.
