Words that start with H follow a clear pattern once you look at where the letters land. The last box does most of the work, led by S and Y.

Which Letters Own the Last Box

The last box belongs mostly to S, Y and E, in that order. S sits well ahead of everything else. The leading letters cover most of the box.

L Is the Letter to Test in the Third Box

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

The AL Pairing in the Second and Third Boxes

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

E Turns Up Across the Open Boxes

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

Useful five-letter words

HOUSE, HOURS, HAPPY, HUMAN and HEART are the most familiar words on the page. HANDS, HEAVY and HOTEL follow, and each one uses a different last letter, so they cover more ground than similar words would.

HOUSE
HOURS
HAPPY
HUMAN
HEART

Frequently asked questions

Which letter most often ends these words

S, followed by Y. Neither takes a majority, so use them as a first test rather than a certainty.

Can Z ever fill the second box

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

Which vowel is most common in the second box

A leads, with O next. The other vowels trail behind them.
