V first and D third gives 14 words, and one of them is a word almost everybody types every week.
E, I and O each take about twenty nine percent of the box between, with A on fourteen. Four branches, and none of them leads.
VIDEO sits on the I branch and it is far more common than every other entry on the page put together, so the tie between the branches tells you nothing useful.
VODKA carries the O branch and VEDIC the E branch. Those two are the only other entries most people would recognise.
So guess VIDEO first, without weighing the percentages at all.
If the tiles rule it out, VODKA is the second move, and the page is close to finished after that.
No, VIDEOS runs to six letters. VIDEO is the five letter form and it is the one that fits the pattern.
No, all five of its letters are distinct. That makes it a clean opener as well as the likeliest answer.
Yes. It carries the O branch alone and its K is a letter nothing else here uses, so it rules out a real possibility.
