  • Check the second letter. L follows the F in 53 words (22%), as in FLOOR and FLASH. I (42) and A (38) come next.
  • Look at the last letter. 35% of five letter words starting with F end in S, like FOCUS and FEELS. Most of those are plurals, which some daily word games never use as answers.
  • A strong first guess. If you know the word starts with F, FALSE is a good opener: it tests A, L, S and E, four of the seven most common letters in the open spots.
