A T at the front and O at the end leaves just 18 tournament-dictionary words. Tattoo, tomato, techno, and tuxedo are the familiar anchors; the fixed final vowel removes the usual ending-letter sorting step. Five entries are common-frequency, so expect many less familiar candidates.

Pattern facts at a glance

  • 18 tournament-dictionary words fit this exact pattern.
  • Only 5 are common-frequency, and 13 have definitions.
  • Every match ends in O; there is no ending-letter split to use.
  • THICKO scores 15, followed by TUXEDO at 14.

Which examples and endings narrow the set?

The short set ranges from everyday nouns to borrowed or specialized forms. Toledo and Tupelo are place names, while torero and teredo are less routine vocabulary. Thuggo and thicko show how informal entries can appear alongside tomato.

Use the middle letters and the clue’s part of speech to choose among them.

With O fixed at the end, the middle letters do nearly all the sorting work. Tomato and tattoo repeat a letter, while tuxedo and techno offer distinct consonant sequences. A revealed tile in positions two through five should quickly separate this set of eighteen.

Tattoo and tomato are especially recognizable because they repeat a letter, while tuxedo gives a distinct middle sequence. Techno is another direct option when the clue points to music or technology. The fixed ending leaves only four changing positions, so a single crossing letter can do substantial work in this compact group.

A practical clue check

Tip

THICKO leads the score list at 15, only one point ahead of TUXEDO. The top entry is not the safest meaning-first guess, so let the clue decide before chasing the extra point.
