Forty one words carry W second and A third, and not one of them repeats a letter.
Zero of the forty one carry a doubled letter. For a group of this size that is unusual, and it means a confirmed repeat rules the whole page out at once.
AWARD, AWARE, TWAIN, AWAKE and DWARF are the most common. SWAMP, AWAIT, SWARM, SWAPS and SWANS all come up regularly.
AWAIT, AWAKE, AWARD, AWARE and AWASH all put an A in front of a short stem. A opens eight of the forty one, and these are the entries a puzzle is most likely to reach for.
S takes twenty three of the forty one, and every one of those runs SWA. T takes five and D takes four, giving the TWA and DWA words.
So the first box comes down to a short list. R leads the fourth box on nine, which is where AWARD, SWARM, SWARD and DWARF all sit.
S closes nine of the forty one and E closes seven, with fifteen letters appearing in the last box overall.
SWAMP tests the S, M and P and settles whether the word is in the SWA branch. AWARD only helps if it is not.
An award is something granted and aware means conscious of something. The final letter is the only difference between them.
A term of respectful address in Swahili, meaning sir or master. It is the only entry here that opens with B.
The metal filings and chips produced by machining. SWARD, meaning turf, sits one letter away and is unrelated.
