/ˈswʌŋ/verb
To rotate about an off-centre fixed point.
“The plant swung in the breeze.”
SWUNG is a 5-letter word with 1 vowel (U) and 4 consonants (S, W, N, G). Every letter is distinct, so it rarely punishes a clean opening guess.
It leans on high-frequency letters (S, N), so a strong vowel-and-common-consonant opener tends to light up quickly. Watch for the less-common letter W — saving a guess to test it once the vowels are placed is usually the fastest route.
