Ninety eight words carry U second and N third, and several consonants crowd into the box after the N.

G, T, K and C Share the Fourth Box

G takes it in sixteen of the ninety eight, T in fifteen, K in fifteen and C in thirteen. That is fifty nine between them, and no single letter runs away with the page.

Each produces its own shape. G gives BUNGS, T gives BUNTS, K gives FUNKS and C gives the UNCH words.

The UNCH Cluster Is the Tightest Group Here

BUNCH, DUNCH, HUNCH, LUNCH, MUNCH and PUNCH share their last four letters. Most are ordinary English, which makes this an awkward set to separate.

  • FUNDS
  • LUNCH
  • PUNCH
  • TUNES
  • FUNKY

The UN Words You Will Actually Want

FUNDS, FUNNY, LUNCH, BUNCH and SUNNY are the most common, with TUNES, PUNCH and FUNKY close behind.

Where UN Words Finish

S closes thirty three of the ninety eight and Y closes twenty three, well over half the last box.

The Y ending usually means a doubled N in front of it. BUNNY, FUNNY, GUNNY and SUNNY all work that way, and they supply most of the repeats here.

B opens seventeen of the ninety eight and P opens twelve, but fifteen letters appear in that box overall.

So the front of a UN word is wide and the back is narrow. Test the ending first and the fourth letter second.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is FUNDS or LUNCH the better opening

What is a BUNYA

An Australian pine producing large edible cones. It is one of several entries here borrowed from other languages.
