A 5-letter word is usually the fastest way to make it pay rather than keep waiting for a longer one.

The list divides into 6 groups by second letter, the largest being the 32 words with ja. Scanning the right group is faster than reading the whole list, which is why it is broken up below rather than run alphabetically.
