What stands out in K patterns?

Ten matches fit; six end in S, two in Y, and the last two end in D and H. The top examples span familiar vocabulary and less common plays, so a pattern match alone does not tell you how likely an opponent or game dictionary is to recognize a word. SKIRTS, SKERRY, SKORTS, SKARTH give you a quick scan of the range.

Scrabble scores put SKYRED (14), SKERRY (13), SKARTH (13) at the top. The average base score is 11.6, which is a better guide to an ordinary play than the highest outlier. Premium squares can change a board result, but they do not change these letter values.
