This is the largest P-pattern in this batch: 110 tournament-list words put E fourth, and 15 are common by frequency. POWERS, PAPERS, PARENT and PRIEST show how many everyday options sit beside specialized vocabulary such as PHEEZE. A final S is the strongest additional clue, appearing in 51 words.
At a glance P first, E fourth
- 110 words begin P with E fourth.
- 15 entries are common; 91 have definitions.
- 51 words end in S.
- PHEEZE leads at 20 points, followed by PUZELS at 17.
Which words score highest?
The final S is the clearest structural clue: 51 of the 110 words end there. POWERS, PAPERS, PANELS, PIXELS and PIPERS all fit, while endings such as E, T and A appear much less often. If your known pattern ends S, this group is large enough to offer both familiar and less obvious candidates.
The common examples cover several useful clue types: POWERS and PAPERS are plurals, PARENT names a relation, PRIEST a role, and PATENT can serve as a noun or verb. Their variety matters because the fixed frame does not imply one suffix or word class. Look to the crossing letters before narrowing the list by meaning.
Familiar choices and the long tail
PHEEZE scores 20, PUZELS 17 and PUKEKO 16; PIXELS reaches 15. The high scorer is less familiar than the everyday anchors, which is a useful distinction for play: common vocabulary solves clues quickly, while the rarer forms matter when a board position rewards exact tile values. Check unfamiliar entries against the rules used in your game.
A 110-word total sounds generous, but only 15 entries meet the common-frequency threshold. The rest make the frame more useful in Scrabble than in everyday guessing. The most recognizable options are a sensible starting point; when those fail, a fixed final letter can open the less familiar part of the set.
The S ending dominates
With E fixed fourth, avoid assuming the next letter is also E: this pattern supports many different continuations, from POWERS to PHEEZE.
