Thirteen words put V first and I third, and three vowels take the second box in equal numbers.

A Three Way Tie in V and I Words

A, E and O each take the second box in four words, with Y taking the last one. That is as even a split as a page this size can produce, so the second box settles almost nothing on its own.

Why V First and I Third Stays This Small

V is a rare opening letter and an I in the third box narrows what follows sharply. What survives is three short stems, VAI, VEI and VOI, each taking a couple of endings.

VOICE is the one word here you would use without thinking. VEILS and VEINS are reachable, and VOILA and VOILE follow. Past those the page turns into VAIRE, VAIRY and VEILY, none of which you would produce.

Getting Through V and I Words Quickly

L leads the fourth box on five words with R and N on three each. S closes five of the thirteen, thirty eight percent, with E and Y on three apiece.

Nothing here repeats a letter, so a visible double rules the pattern out at once. Beyond that, guess VOICE and work the last box.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is VOICE the best opening

Yes, comfortably. It is the only everyday word on the page and it tests O in the second box, which four words use.

How do VEILS and VEINS differ

Only in the fourth box, and both are ordinary words. VEILY and VEINY sit on the same stems, so that corner absorbs turns.

Does VYING really fit

Yes, it runs V, Y, I, N, G. The Y stands in for a vowel, which makes it the one entry here that breaks the three way split.
