Tips for this pattern

  • Check the letter before -O. G comes right before it in 10 words (16%). I (7) and N (6) follow.
  • Then the first letter. C starts 7 of these words (11%), and M starts 7.
  • A strong first guess. If you know the word ends in O, RATIO is a good opener: it tests A, T and I, three of the seven most common letters in the open spots.
