N holds slot two and R holds slot five across 95 matches, the roomiest of the nearby N patterns. U opens 32 of them and I another 26, while INJURY and INJURE show how close two answers can look. Fifteen entries are common words, giving this list more everyday anchors than its neighbours.

What stands out in the letter pattern

  • All 95 matches set N in slot two and R in slot five.
  • U starts 32, I starts 26, and E starts 17.
  • INJURY tops the score table at 16 points.
  • Nineteen matches close in E, the largest ending group.
  • Fifteen entries rank as common words.
  • The pattern covers U, I, E, A, O, K, S, and G openings.

Which examples should you check first?

INJURY scores 16, ahead of INJURE and INJERA at 13. UNWORK, INWORK, and KNARRY also reach 13. The leading score is useful, but the 95-word pool is large enough that familiar words deserve equal attention.

U starts 32 entries and I starts 26; E contributes 17. Those three openings account for 75 of the 95 matches, so test them before scanning less frequent initials. K opens 3 and S opens 2.

INJURY and INJURE share much of their shape, while ENTIRE and ENSURE show how varied the middle can be. With 95 possibilities, fix the second and fifth letters first, then sort the remaining candidates by likely opening. UNSURE, UNBORN, and INBORN add three more common answers.

How can you narrow the candidates?

  1. Test INJURY first as a spelling template.
  2. Compare the middle letters before the final one.
  3. Three openings supply 75 of the 95 answers.

What is the practical limitation?

Note

The 95-match pool is deep, but only 15 entries are common words, so expect a long tail of specialist forms. Start from U and I, then confirm an unfamiliar spelling against your game's dictionary.

Questions people ask

Which word scores the most?
INJURY is the top scorer at 16 points. INJURE, INJERA, UNWORK, INWORK, and KNARRY each reach 13. Those are base tile values, so a premium square can still reorder a real board.
Which first letters lead this pattern?
U carries 32 of the 95 matches, I carries 26, and E carries 17, so those three initials account for 75. A, O, K, and the rest fill out the smaller remainder.
How many of these words are common?
Fifteen of the 95 matches are common words. ENTIRE and INJURY are the familiar anchors, but most of the list is specialist, and the rarer forms seldom surface in casual play.
