Still, only 7 entries belong to the common-frequency group, so a recognizable example does not mean the whole set is everyday vocabulary.
A J-first, D-last search returns 53 matches; the S ending produces 82. That gap makes S a strong candidate when the sixth square is open. Hold J in place and test the final S before widening the search.
