Five letter words that begin with E are easier to guess than they look. The last box is where these words lean hardest, with S first and E second.

How the Last Box Breaks Down

In the last box, S leads, with E and T behind it. S holds a clear lead over E. Beyond the leading letters, the box is spread thinly across many other letters.

The VE Pairing in the Third and Fourth Boxes

VE is the most common pairing across the third and fourth boxes, with SE next. If both boxes are still open, testing VE first is a quick way to shrink the list.

E Is the Letter to Test in the Third Box

E is the most common letter in the third box, with I next. E and I are close to level. Testing it early costs little and often settles the box.

S Turns Up Across the Open Boxes

Setting the fixed letter aside, S appears somewhere in these words more often than any other letter. A guess that includes S will usually light up a tile, which makes it a useful test even when you are unsure of its position.

Useful five-letter words

EVERY, EARLY, EVENT, ENJOY and EARTH are the most familiar words on the page. EIGHT, EXTRA and ENDED follow, and each one uses a different last letter, so they cover more ground than similar words would.

EVERY
EARLY
EVENT
ENJOY
EARTH

Frequently asked questions

Which vowel is most common in the third box

E leads, with I next. The other vowels trail behind them.

Can Q ever fill the third box

No. Q never appears in the third box on this page, so you can rule it out as soon as you see the pattern.

Do any of these words repeat a letter back to back

Yes. ERROR, ESSAY and EERIE are familiar examples, and a double letter is worth trying if every other letter in your guess has come back grey.
