Tips for this pattern
- Check the letter before -R. E comes right before it in 190 words (71%), as in OTHER and AFTER. O (34) and A (21) follow.
- Then the first letter. S starts 33 of these words (12%), like SUPER and SUGAR, and A starts 20.
- A strong first guess. If you know the word ends in R, LATER is a good opener: it tests A, T and E, three of the seven most common letters in the open spots.
