The fixed pattern is _ _ J A _ _: J occupies the third position and A the fourth. Recognizable spellings such as pajama and pyjama sit alongside less familiar entries like qajaqs and bejant. The dictionary counts differ by list, and just one word ranks among the 25,000 most common English words; 16 entries have definitions.

The pattern at a glance

• The pattern has 18 tournament-dictionary matches, with 16 entries that have definitions.
• Qajaqs scores 31 points, ahead of hijack at 22 and pyjama at 20.
• Nine words end in S; four end in A, and two end in T.
• B leads the opening letters with four matches; H and P each start three.

Which patterns stand out in this set?

The endings are unusually concentrated: half of the 18 matches finish in S. Hijabs, rajahs, and rojaks show how often a plural or inflected form supplies that final letter. By contrast, only one word ends in K: hijack.

The opening letters are less evenly spread. Four words begin with B, while H and P contribute three apiece. The set is also tiny beside nearby six-letter patterns: R in the third position with A fourth has 227 matches, and L has 162.

The list is not a set of everyday vocabulary: only one entry falls within the top 25,000 English words by frequency. Collins includes 17 matches, NWL2023 includes 10, and ENABLE includes five, so don’t assume every game accepts the same words. Check your game’s dictionary before relying on an obscure entry.
