Which matches are familiar or high-scoring?

BROKEN, BLOCKS, BRONZE, BOOKED, BLONDE, and BROWSE offer recognizable starting points. The small common-word group means many other valid entries are less familiar, so don’t assume every match will come to mind during a game.

For a score-focused pick, BLOWZY reaches 23 points before board bonuses. BRONZE scores 17, while BLOCKY and BOOZER also make the high-scoring group. The 23-point total rewards a player who can spot a less common word.

Which final letters appear most often?

S leads the recorded endings with 36 words; Y comes next at 24, then E at 20. That makes an S or Y a strong next position to test when your last letter is still unknown. Across the set, 115 entries carry definitions.

The ending counts also show why the pattern is not a word list of everyday vocabulary: just 21 matches meet the common-word cutoff, even though the tournament dictionaries recognize many more. For a wider search, compare 6-letter words with B first and O third against neighboring patterns.
