Twenty seven words put V first and R third, and three vowels split the second box exactly evenly.
E, A and I each take the second box in nine of the twenty seven. No other letter appears there, so the page is three branches of identical size and the second box tells you nothing on its own.
VERSE, VERGE, VERVE and VERSO are the ordinary words in it, with VERBS and VERTU behind them. The three branches are the same size, so it is the quality of the words rather than the count that makes this the one to test first.
VERSE, VERSO, VERST and VERTS differ in the last box alone, and VERTU and VERVE do the same one letter over. Landing inside VER confirms three letters and leaves the real question standing.
The fourth box will not help either. Thirteen different letters appear there and none takes more than three words, which is unusually flat.
VIRUS and VIRAL carry the I branch and both are common. VARIA, VARNA and VARUS carry A and none is reachable. So a miss on the E branch points you at VIRUS before anything else.
VERSE tests the largest branch but sits in a crowded stem. VIRUS is common, sits in a different branch and shares less with its neighbours, so it often tells you more.
A layer of sediment deposited in a year. It is the one word here that repeats a letter, so a visible double settles the page.
They are variant spellings for a taste for fine objects, and both appear on this list in different branches.
