Words with the "EVERY" pattern

[MadDoctor]

Or infamous. I've made a number of comments like the one at the start of this post, for the same reason. I get stuck on a word with a pattern that I have a list for and not one of them work and I end up with a horrid time. I wonder if any others will get the same treatment.

Surprisingly, I didn't find any new ones in the first post.

I guess not, since it was your list that I was quoting! Who knew you were so famous?

I came by the forum looking for something else and decided to browse for a bit. The title of this one caught my eye since I have a word list including this pattern. I thought I might add a few. Surprisingly, I didn't find any new ones in the first post. Maradnu: thanks, but no thanks. I did add half a dozen others that may show up someday.

However, as one might try "the," "one," "man," or "who" as frequently used three letter words, one wonders how the frequency distribution in usage would boil down for words of the "EvEry" configuration? Are there such lists?

TimmyTee, I don't know about frequency of whole-word usage, but the letter frequencies given in the cryptograms definitely help when deciphering the 12134 pattern. If the repeated letter has a "2" for letter frequency, then chances are that that letter is not an E, and then that's where a list would come in handy.

Thank you, oddcouple, Roxanne, and maradnu!

Maradnu, that's crazy-overwhelming -- too much to comb through in the middle of a puzzle. Maybe I'll pull out only the more likely words and alphabetize them . . . . in large type for my aging eyes.

But still, "abaci" -- I've never even imagined having more than one abacus!

Key word list

My key word list is 375 pages with over 108,000 words and patterns. I found it on a website ages ago, but it seems to have disappeared from there. I don't use it often since as you see from the above some patterns have a ton of possibilities, some kind of questionable.

Frequency distribution of "EvEry" words

However, as one might try "the," "one," "man," or "who" as frequently used three letter words, one wonders how the frequency distribution in usage would boil down for words of the "EvEry" configuration? Are there such lists?

Impressive list Maradnu.

What words fit the "EVERY" pattern of 12134? I almost always try "every" first and, if that's not it, the puzzle seems instantly more difficult because I've stored only a few variations in memory.

But tonight I came upon the following comment by MadDoctor, who had taken more than 12 minutes to solve a Camille Paglia quote in which she used the word "awash":

MadDoctor on November 12th, 2018
EvEry, AgAin, AwAre, AwAke, AwArd, ToTal, EvEnt, CyCle, EnEmy, IdIot, PaPer, NiNth, NiNty, FiFth, FiFty, AdApt, ErEct, (AwAsh). ARGH! 751s.

So that's a pretty good starter list, right?

Here's a cleaned-up version of MadDoctor's list:

adapt
again
awake
award
aware
awash
cycle
enemy
erect
event
every
fifth
fifty
idiot
ninth
paper
