Why A No-U List Matters

No-letter pages work as elimination pages. Every word here excludes U, so the set is immediately useful after a grey tile or any other constraint that rules the letter out globally.

Within this filtered pool, the most common starting letters are S (1,269), C (733), and B (681) and the most common endings are S (3,118), E (1,227), and Y (1,012). 62.0% of the set still uses five unique letters, which keeps it useful for broad-information guesses.
