The ending letters narrow the search further: 6 of the 15 words finish in D, while 3 finish in R. JUMPED and JAPPED fit the D ending; JUMPER and JIMPER fit the R group.

The remaining words end in S, N, P, T, or Y. That spread makes the final tile a useful check when you already know the J and P positions. For a nearby comparison, the same pattern with S first has 98 matches, far more than this J set.
