Every match fits _ _ A S _: A occupies the middle slot, and S follows it. LEAST, CLASS, COAST, GLASS, and PHASE are familiar examples, but the endings are not evenly spread. T, H, and E together close 55 entries, a useful clue when you know the pattern but not the final letter.

  • The pattern has 41 Wordle answers and 76 allowed guesses.

How many Wordle guesses match the A-S pattern?

There are 41 Wordle answers and 76 allowed guesses in this pattern. That gap matters: a valid probe can test letters without being a possible solution.

Try LEAST, GLASS, CHASE, or CRASH when their known letters fit. These recognizable options start and end with different letters, giving you distinct candidates as clues build.

The common-word group has only 31 entries, so the answer pool is not limited to everyday vocabulary. Treat the full guess set as a testing pool, not a promise that every word is a likely solution.

Which A-S words score best in Scrabble?

QUASH leads at 17 points. QUASI and QUASS each score 14, while FLASK, CHASM, and KVASS each reach 12.

For more familiar options, FLASH scores 11, as do AWASH and SWASH. The top scorer is less ordinary than LEAST or GLASS, so a strong tile score and a likely clue answer are not always the same thing.
