There Can Be Only Twelve (Posted on 2021-06-10) Difficulty: 3 of 5
The following set has exactly 12 members, each a 3-letter word, arranged alphabetically.

There are many other words which could take the place of "Box", for example, provided such a word possesses the same necessary properties as "Box". This is true for each of the 12 members.

{Box, Fox, Get, Hat, Jet, Mat, Not, Rot, Tot, Urn, ___, ___}

There are many solutions which can correctly fill in the last two places. But, only one of the following correctly does so.

A. Veg, You

B. Wan, Yet

C. Wax, Zoo

D. Xis, Yaw

E. Yet, Zen

Note: one property possessed by each word is that it is a valid 3-letter English word, but this type of property is not the key to the solution.

Please provide your own two-word solution.

A failed theory | Comment 2 of 4 |
Given type and key were the words italicized, I checked the rows involved in the given words, but no pattern was found and there was at least one repeat:

313 213 211 221 212 321 311 111 111 113 ___ ___

111 and 111 are obviously repeats; 212 and 221 might count as a repeat if considering only combinations rather than permutations.
