Which words fit the P-and-Y pattern?

SIMPLY, SUPPLY, DEEPLY, TROPHY, and COMPLY show how different the first three letters can be while the final pattern stays fixed. S is the most productive opening, with 10 matches; C and D tie at 8 each, and T has 7.

Those four initials account for 33 of the 60 matches, while L begins only two. When the first slot is unknown, test S before the less productive starts, then consider C or D. Since the final Y is guaranteed, spend your guesses distinguishing the open middle letters instead of testing the last tile.
