Twenty three words put V first and N third, and only three letters ever open the second box.
I takes the second box in ten of the twenty three, forty three percent, E takes nine and A takes four. Nothing else appears there at all, which makes the second box a three way choice rather than a search.
VENOM, VENUE, VENTS and VINYL are the words here most people would reach for, with VANES and VINES behind them. That is a decent haul for a page of twenty three.
The I branch is the largest and the least useful. VINAL, VINAS, VINCA, VINED, VINER, VINES, VINEW, VINIC and VINOS all sit on one stem and most are technical.
The E branch is smaller and much richer. VENOM, VENUE, VENAL, VENDS and VENUS are all reachable, so a guess there is worth more than its count suggests.
S closes eight of the twenty three, thirty five percent, and E leads the fourth box on six words. Nothing repeats a letter anywhere on the page.
The E branch. It holds fewer words but nearly all of them are common, so a hit narrows the page far more cleanly.
On this list it is a five letter entry. It sits beside VENUE and the two differ only in the last box.
An orchid. It is one of four words here with A in the second box, alongside VANED, VANES and VANGS.
