STABLE's letters skew common overall: "e" shows up in 70% of 6-letter words in our dictionary, while "b" appears in only 10%. That mix is exactly the kind of spread that makes a strong opener — a good starting guess wants common letters in their common positions, and STABLE leads with "s", which only sits first in 13% of 6-letter words — worth knowing if you're deciding whether to lead with it. When solving STABLE, the key is to quickly identify the vowel pattern and use common letter combinations.
