This is a narrow pattern: 14 tournament-dictionary matches, with no entry in the common-frequency group. Thawed and trowel are the clearest everyday anchors; trawls and trowed add familiar letter shapes. The remaining forms make this better for checking a precise clue than guessing from memory.

Pattern facts at a glance

  • 14 tournament-dictionary words fit this exact pattern.
  • No match is in the common-frequency group; 12 entries are defined.
  • S ends 5 words, D ends 3, and L or R ends 2 each.
  • TIZWAS? no; TIZWAS scores 18, while THAWED is 13.

Which examples and endings narrow the set?

Final letters give a small but useful map. S appears 5 times and D appears 3; L and R each close 2 words. Tizwas is the score leader at 18, but thawed is easier to recognize and scores 13.

The rare set rewards matching every revealed tile before considering an unusual candidate.

Many candidates share a TH or TR opening, which gives the first two positions extra value. Thawed and thawer differ at the end, while trowel and trowed share a different stem. Compare the whole frame instead of treating W as enough evidence.

Thawed and thawer share a root, so their final letters distinguish tense and role. Trowel is a familiar object, while trawls and trowed offer other endings. Because the whole set is small, compare each candidate against all known crossings instead of extending a guess from just the initial T and central W.

A practical clue check

Tip

Treat TIZWAS as a scoring candidate only when the board and your dictionary support it. With zero common-frequency entries, a familiar-looking sequence is not a reliable validity test.
