The fixed middle pair narrows the pattern to _ _ S L _ _, but the remaining letters produce a lopsided set: G and M each begin six matches, while P begins three. Just two entries meet the common-word cutoff. MISLED and AISLES are recognizable anchors; many other matches are specialist or uncommon terms.

Which words fit the S-L pattern?

Which of these words will your game accept?

Tip

Lock in the middle S-L pair, then scan the last tile: eight matches end in S, five in T, and three in D.
