Twenty seven words carry Y second and R third, and two Greek roots supply a good part of them.
GYRAL, GYRED, GYRES, GYRON, GYROS and GYRUS all descend from the Greek for ring or circle. PYRAL, PYRAN, PYRES, PYREX and PYRIC come from the Greek for fire.
LYRIC, SYRUP, TYRES and PYREX are the entries in general use, with GYROS familiar from Greek food and EYRIE from nature writing. MYRRH is well known from the nativity story.
TYRES is the British spelling and TYRED its verb form. Both appear here, which is worth remembering if you are used to the American tires.
It carries a doubled R followed by an H and holds no conventional vowel at all. Repeats are almost absent here, one out of twenty seven, and MYRRH carries it.
G opens six of the twenty seven and P opens five, with E on four. Ten letters appear in that box overall.
S closes eleven of the twenty seven, well ahead of anything else, and E takes the fourth box in ten. The ES ending alone covers a good share of the page.
SYRUP tests the S, U and P, none of which the Greek root words use much. LYRIC overlaps with the GYR and PYR families.
The nest of a bird of prey, built high on a cliff or in a tall tree. It is also spelled aerie.
A short prayer in Christian liturgy beginning Kyrie eleison, Lord have mercy. The word is Greek.
A former Icelandic monetary unit, one hundredth of a krona. It is the least likely entry on this page.
