Why AU and OU Are Easy to Confuse on V and U Pages

VAULT and VOUCH sound as though they share a vowel, since AU and OU are pronounced much the same way in these two words.

That is why players place the letters wrongly here, hearing the sound rather than reading the spelling.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is VIRUS part of this pattern

No. VIRUS puts I in the second box and R in the third. The U lands fourth.

Is VAUNT still used

It appears in older writing and survives in a few set phrases. Most players would only reach for it once VAULT and VOUCH have gone.

Why is this pattern so small

V is a rare opening letter, and pairing it with a U two boxes later narrows things almost to nothing, which is why nine words is the whole list.
