The pattern is B _ _ A _ _: B stays fixed at the start, and A sits in the fourth slot. Familiar matches include BECAME, BREATH, BREAKS and BEHAVE, while the full set also contains less everyday choices such as BYZANT and BAZAAR. Just 15 matches meet the common-word frequency cutoff, so a dictionary list is broader than everyday vocabulary.

Which matches are common, and which score big?
Only 15 of the 123 matches fall within our common-word cutoff. BECAME, BREATH, BEHALF and BREAST are recognizable options; the set also includes specialist or less familiar entries, so treat a complete word-game list as a candidate pool rather than a vocabulary shortlist.
For a high tile score, look beyond familiar words: BEZAZZ, BAZAZZ and BIZAZZ top the scoring examples at 35 points apiece. BYZANT scores 20, while BAZAAR reaches 17. Those are base word scores, so board bonuses can change the result.
Check your game's dictionary before relying on an unusual entry; Collins, NWL2023 and ENABLE do not contain identical sets.
