Tips for this pattern

  • Check the letter before -TH. O comes right before it in 10 words (24%), as in TOOTH and CLOTH. R (9) and A (6) follow.
  • Then the first letter. S starts 7 of these words (17%), like SOUTH and SMITH, and F starts 6.
  • A strong first guess. If you know the word ends in TH, FORTH is a good opener: it tests F, O and R, three of the seven most common letters in the open spots.
