Twenty three words hold W second and E third, and close to half of them repeat a letter.
SWEEP, SWEER, SWEET, TWEED, TWEEL, TWEEN, TWEET and AWEEL all put a second E straight after the first. E takes the fourth box in eight of the twenty three.
DWELL and SWELL add a doubled L, bringing the total to ten of the twenty three. On a page this small that makes a repeat worth assuming rather than testing.
SWEET, SWEAT, SWEEP, SWEAR and SWEPT are the most common, with SWELL, DWELL and TWEAK close behind.
Both are extremely common and they differ in the fourth box alone. If you have four letters confirmed and the last one is T, this is the choice you are facing.
So the fourth box is the whole decision on this page. Everything else about the two words is identical.
S opens ten of the twenty three and T opens six, which covers most of the page. T closes seven of them and L closes five.
So the shape is easy and the exact word is hard. Both ends are predictable and the letter that matters sits between them.
TWEAK tests the T, A and K without doubling anything. SWEET repeats the E, which spends part of the guess on a letter you already hold.
To burn slowly or singe, in dialect. SWELT, meaning to faint or die, sits nearby and is equally archaic.
A silly or contemptible person. It is informal but well established and the one entry here ending in P.
A style of South African street music built on a pennywhistle. It is the only entry here opening with K.
