Letter Distribution

Definition

Letter distribution describes which letters tend to occupy which positions across the answer set. It is positional frequency viewed across the whole grid, guiding where to place each tested letter.

Why it matters

Placing letters according to distribution increases your chance of greens and the information each guess returns.

Examples

• T is common in position one and five.
• Vowels cluster in positions two and three.

Best practices

• Place letters where they most often score green.
• Use distribution to break ties between candidates.
