This pattern puts P in the middle and A one space before the end, leaving both the opening and final letter open. REPEAT and REPLAY show how different the surrounding letters can be. Only six entries are common by frequency, so the familiar examples are a useful starting layer rather than the whole search.
At a glance
- 44 words match the third-position P and fifth-position A.
- REPEAT, REPLAY, APPEAR and APPEAL are familiar anchors.
- R is the most frequent first letter, with 9 entries.

- The final S occurs most often, in 15 matches.
Which openings appear most often?
R leads with nine matches, followed by C with six and H with five.
REPEAT, REPLAY and REPEAL make the R cluster easy to remember; APPEAR and APPEAL start with A, while POPLAR supplies a less common P opener.
No opening dominates as heavily as in some fixed-letter frames, so keep several starting letters in play.
ZUPPAS scores 19, followed by HYPHAE, HYPHAL and KIPPAH at 17.
BYPLAY reaches 16.
The 44 words average 11.3 points, but these score leaders are not all everyday vocabulary.
Most matches are defined, yet six alone fall within the common-word group; use score tables alongside your game’s accepted list.
What are the scoring standouts?
The fifth letter is fixed, not the ending: check final S first because it appears in 15 matches, but N and L also recur.
