Which words fit this fixed-letter pattern?

The first letter varies more than the final one: S starts 20 matches, B starts 18, and L and T each start 17. Every word in the set ends in S, making that final letter a reliable anchor while you work backward to the G in fourth position. S and B are the busiest starts, and the whole set averages 9.2 points a word before any board bonus.

Several familiar entries are plural nouns or verb forms: IMAGES, STAGES, BADGES, HINGES, WEIGHS and MERGES. Others, including FUNGUS, show that the pattern is not simply a list of plurals. The 209 matches include 176 entries with definitions, but just 16 rank among common English words; for tournament play, check your game's dictionary.
