The frame _P___S has far more options than its fixed ending may suggest: 99 of the 151 entries begin with S. You can also work from A or U, which contribute 15 apiece, then check less common openings such as M and I. The average score is 9.6.

At a glance

  • 151 tournament-dictionary words fit the P-second, S-final frame.
  • SPORTS, SPEAKS, SPACES and SPEEDS are recognizable examples.
  • S begins 99 entries; A and U each begin 15.
  • MPoxes is the top scorer at 17 points; APEXES and UPJETS score 15.
  • Only 22 entries meet the common-word frequency cutoff.

Why do so many answers begin with S?

S leads the opening-letter count with 99 matches, while A and U each account for 15.

That concentration makes an S-first guess productive when your rack allows it, but do not treat it as a rule: examples such as APPLES, OPTICS and UPSETS show the other routes into the pattern.

SPORTS and SPEARS are familiar; the longer tail includes less everyday entries.

MPoxes reaches 17 points, the top score in this group; APEXES and UPJETS each reach 15.

SPECKS and SPIFFS score 14.

The average is 9.6, so a rack with a strong letter can beat the typical result.

Some top scorers are obscure, so check your game dictionary before committing them.

Which high scorers fit this frame?

Tip

When the final S is fixed, test S as the opening letter first: 99 matches start that way, but leave room for A- and U-openers.

Questions people ask

What is the highest Scrabble score in this group?
MPoxes is the highest score tabler at 17 points. APEXES and UPJETS follow at 15, with SPECKS and SPIFFS at 14. These are tile values before premiums, and the rare leader deserves a dictionary check before play.
Do all the words start with S?
No. S opens 99 of the 151 matches, but A and U each start 15. APPLES, UPSETS and OPTICS demonstrate alternatives, so keep the remaining opening letters available when your rack does not support an S.
Which six-letter examples fit this clue?
SPORTS, SPEAKS and SPACES match the fixed positions. The broader group also contains less familiar entries, so use the exact letter frame to narrow your rack and consult the word list for an unfamiliar candidate. No single opening letter covers every match.
