Every match ends in R, leaving the first five tiles to do the separating. ISSUER, ISOMER, ISOBAR, and ASHLAR provide recognizable anchors; PSYWAR is the score leader but a much less familiar option. None of the matches is in the common-word group.

At a glance

  • 14 matches have S second and R last.
  • A begins four; E and I each begin three.
  • PSYWAR scores 14, followed by ESCHAR at 11.
  • Every candidate ends in R.
  • Collins includes 13 matches; ENABLE includes 10.

Which opening letters lead the shortlist?

A begins four words, while E and I each begin three. ISSUER, ISOMER, ISOBAR, and ESPOIR show familiar shapes; ASHLAR, ASHIER, and ASHLER make a small ASH family. O and P each contribute one match.

The final R is fixed, so the first letter gives the cleanest split. Nine matches have a recorded definition, but none reaches the common-word group. That makes ISSUER and ISOMER useful recognition anchors rather than a guide to every valid candidate.

How much does PSYWAR outscore the rest?

PSYWAR leads at 14 points. ESCHAR follows at 11, while ASHLAR, ASHIER, and ASHLER each score 9. ISOMER, ISOBAR, ESPOIR, ESPIER, and ASMEAR are all listed at 8 points.

The average is 8.4, so PSYWAR sits well above the group’s typical tile total. Since most candidates are uncommon, check your game’s word list before choosing a high-scoring entry you do not recognize.

Every candidate carries the same final letter, so the opening vowel does most of the sorting. Compare ISSUER, ESPOIR, and ASHLAR to see how varied the rest of the frame can be.

How to use the pattern

Tip

Use the final R as a fixed tile and sort by the opening vowel. If the rack supports several options, compare the 14-point PSYWAR with more familiar ISSUER or ISOMER before deciding.
