NATURE, NOTICE, and NATION make this pattern more approachable than its raw count suggests: eight entries are classified as common. R and S close eight of the 48 words apiece, so a partial rack still leaves several endings to test.
What stands out in the letter pattern
- All 48 six-letter words carry N first and T third.
- Collins and NWL2023 each include 43 of them; ENABLE includes 36.
- Eight matches count as common English words, among them NATURE, NOTICE, and NATION.
- R and S are the most common final letters, eight words apiece.
Which examples should you check first?
The 48 matches split across familiar words such as NATIVE and NOTION and less familiar forms such as NUTHIN. Eight are common by the frequency measure, so the complete pool is broader than a casual player may know. The same positions yield 27 words at five letters and 90 at seven.
R and S are the leading final letters, with eight words each; E follows at seven. That near tie matters when you have the first three slots but an open ending: keep several endings in play instead of locking into one.
NATURE and NOTICE offer quick recognition, but the score table rewards a different sort of scan. Keep the endings R, S, and E on your checklist when the final square remains open.
How can you narrow the candidates?
- Write N _ T _ _ _ and slot in any confirmed crossings first.
- Test NATURE and NOTICE, then try NT- words such as NETHER and NUTMEG.
- Keep R and S endings in mind; each closes eight of the 48 matches.
What is the practical limitation?
Confirm any unfamiliar form against the word list your game accepts.
