Use ? for unknowns

Twenty eight words put W first and E third, and twelve of them repeat a letter. Half the page opens with WH.

Half of All W and E Words Open with WH

H takes the second box in fourteen of the twenty eight, fifty percent. E follows on nine, R on four and I on just one.

The E branch is where the repeats come from. WEEDS, WEEDY, WEEKS, WEENS, WEENY, WEEPS, WEEPY, WEEST and WEETS all carry a doubled E automatically.

WHERE Leads Every Other W and E Word

WHERE is the most common word on the page by a wide margin. WHEAT, WHEEL and WHELP follow, and WHEAL, WHELK and WHELM fill out the branch.

  • WHERE
  • WHEAT
  • WHEEL
  • WHELP
  • WRECK

The WRE Words in the W and E Group

WRECK, WREAK, WRENS and WREST are the whole R branch, and every one of them is a word you would use. That is a better hit rate than either larger branch manages.

  • WRECK
  • WREAK
  • WRENS
  • WREST
  • WIELD

S closes ten of the twenty eight, thirty six percent, with T on four. N and L tie for the fourth box at four words each, so that box gives you very little.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is WHERE the safest guess

Yes. It is far and away the most common word here and it tests the largest branch at the same time.

Does a doubled letter narrow much

Not really. Twelve of the twenty eight carry one, nearly all the doubled E of the WEE branch, so a repeat leaves a large shortlist.

What is a WHEFT

A flag used as a signal at sea. It sits in the WH branch and is the one entry there nobody would guess.
