The 3-letter words in SOWPODS

Before we start the lessons to remember the all of the 3-letter words, let's first have a look at the whole list of 1,292 possible three letter words.

This is going to be a much bigger job than learning the two letter words, but do not fear.  You probably already know between a third and half of the words above with enough confidence to play them anyway.  Which means that we need to learn a new 600-800 words - a big task, but by no means impossible.

Also, there's nothing that says we have to start by learning the 3-letter words beginning with A.  I found this was one of the harder letters to learn, so lesson 3 will focus on learning those beginning with B.
