    THAT (the default, I've found)
    ELSE
    HIGH

        Just this week two quotations turned up with the word aura. High, higher, highest, and highly are surprisingly common in the cryptograms. Here is my collection:

        area
        aria
        aura
        barb
        blob
        bomb
        bulb
        dead
        died
        dyed
        ease
        eave
        edge
        else
        gang
        gong
        hash
        hath
        high
        hush
        kick
        kink
        maim
        neon
        noun
        onto
        ouzo (a personal favourite)
        pimp
        plop
        pomp
        prop
        pulp
        pump
        sags
        saps
        saws
        says
        sets
        sews
        sins
        sips
        sits
        skis
        sobs
        sons
        suds
        sues

          What a list.

          Whew!

            Whoa, Lacon! That list is a keeper! Thank you for sharing it here.

            "Hath" -- I bet this one has caused me to give up more times than I realize. I need to keep it in mind for quotes from the thee/thou authors.

            And yes, ouzo is a great one. I will post back here if I ever find a quote with it!

              Three more that I did not find on Lacon's list: tact, tart, test.

                  Aerie: Nice list but noon does not qualify. The two middle letters must differ.

                      Took me a month, but I just noticed that Lurker added a word to the list!

                        A few more

                        seas
                        teat
                        fief

                        I've never seen the second two, but seas is there often enough.

                              Realistically, just know that and else (maybe high, dead, and test as well), and if none of those work just start from somewhere else in the puzzle.
