- KOPECK and JOUNCY tie for the top base score.
Which endings show up most?
POLICE, SOURCE, NOTICE, and BOUNCE are familiar matches that make the fixed positions easy to remember. KOPECK and JOUNCY lead the base score list at 18 each; COPECK follows at 16. The high scorers are less everyday than the common examples, so recognition and score are separate questions.
E finishes 15 matches and S closes 14, well ahead of H at six. POLICE and SOURCE show the E ending; TOPICS and COMICS illustrate S. This near tie means an uncertain final tile can still leave many candidates, especially if the first letter is also unknown.
Collins includes 50 of the 51 entries, while ENABLE has 35 and NWL2023 has 38. Ten words are common, but the top scorers are less familiar than POLICE or SOURCE. When solving, use the nearly even E/S endings as a first split, then cross-check the first tile; C, B, and M together start many candidates.
POLICY, NOVICE, SOLACE, and POUNCE show how many recognizable words meet the same internal condition. By contrast, KOPECK and JOUNCY earn their place through valuable letters rather than familiarity. The score tie is useful when comparing raw totals, but the everyday anchors are easier to spot during a fast solve.
A practical clue for this pattern
A word can be common without being the best raw scorer: POLICE is an easy anchor, while KOPECK carries the top listed total. Compare board placement after confirming your dictionary.
