A J fixed in the fourth slot leaves just 15 matching words, and none falls in the common band. POPJOY and HOBJOB lead scoring at 20 points each, with KOPJES and MOUJIK at 19. Even the examples that look familiar to word-game regulars are dictionary-dependent.
At a glance rare pattern, high base values
- The 15 matches contain zero common words.
- Only four begin with P, the largest starting group.
- POPJOY and HOBJOB tie at 20, while the average score is 16.7.
How are the first and last letters distributed?
POPJOY and HOBJOB tie for the top base score at 20 points; KOPJES and MOUJIK follow at 19. The group averages 16.7, the highest average among these ten patterns. None of the 15 entries is common, so the attractive tile totals come with a real familiarity cost.
P starts four matches, more than any other first letter; B and H each start two. S is the most frequent ending with four, while E, M, N, and Y each finish two. The remaining endings appear singly, leaving the outer tiles useful for reducing candidates.
Collins contains 14 of the 15 entries, yet ENABLE accepts only four and NWL2023 accepts seven. That substantial dictionary spread matters because every candidate is uncommon. Even a memorable-looking form such as LOGJAM does not establish acceptance for the whole pattern; verify exact spelling and list before using a high-value option.
LOGJAM is the most recognizable example for many players, yet it is one of 15 uncommon matches. The remaining candidates include varied forms such as DONJON, POOJAS, and CONJEE. This is a case where knowing the fixed J matters more than guessing a word from everyday conversation; the surrounding tiles do the real work.
A practical clue for this pattern
High score does not mean easy recall here. Confirm that your game accepts a candidate before committing, especially for forms like HOBJOB or MOUJIK.
