Tips for this pattern

  • Check the letter before -N. E comes right before it in 40 words (26%), as in WOMEN and GIVEN. O (36) and I (27) follow.
  • Then the first letter. S starts 20 of these words (13%), like SEVEN and SHOWN, and A starts 14.
  • A strong first guess. If you know the word ends in N, OCEAN is a good opener: it tests O, E and A, three of the seven most common letters in the open spots.
