Methodology

We filter the current LetterWise dataset to entries with exactly five letters, then apply the pattern shown on this page. Counts and percentages use the complete matching set. For speed, the searchable browser displays 400 entries. The dataset is broader than an official answer list and may include plurals and inflected forms.
