A fixed opening of TA still leaves plenty of familiar choices: taking, target, taught, and talent all fit. The full set has 269 tournament-dictionary entries, and its 31 common-frequency words make it one of the more browseable patterns here. Check the final position next; S dominates the ending counts.

Pattern facts at a glance

  • 269 tournament-dictionary words fit this exact pattern.
  • 31 entries fall in the common-frequency group, while 214 have definitions.
  • S is the most frequent ending, with 77 words; D follows at 31, then E at 27.
  • TAZZAS scores 24, far ahead of TARZAN, TAXMAN, and TAXMEN at 15.

Which examples and endings narrow the set?

The ending distribution gives a practical way to narrow a rack or a clue. S is the most frequent ending, with 77 words; D follows at 31, then E at 27. Words such as tables and tastes illustrate the plural ending, while talked and tapped show the past-tense route.

The spread means the fixed opening does not force one word shape.

The contrast between everyday forms and the 24-point ceiling matters in different games. A rack with familiar consonants can still support several endings, while premium-score candidates rely on less routine spelling. Sort by known positions before spending a turn on a long shot.

Taking and target are easy to scan because their opening is fixed, but the list also includes tablet, tackle, and tavern. A clue may distinguish an action from an object before the final letter is known. When it does not, the ending counts offer a better filter than guessing from the initial pair alone. The broad 269-word pool rewards checking every revealed square.

A practical clue check

Tip

Use TAZZAS as the score ceiling: its 24-point face-value total stands nine points above the next listed group. If a familiar answer matters more than raw score, start with taking or target instead.
