Pattern facts at a glance

  • 23 tournament-dictionary words fit this exact pattern.
  • 21 entries are defined, but just 3 are common-frequency.
  • S is most frequent at 7, followed by G at 4 and N at 3.
  • TYPIFY scores 17; TYKISH is next at 16.

Which examples and endings narrow the set?

S is the most frequent final letter at 7, with G next at 4 and N at 3. Typist and typify illustrate the S/G routes, while tyrant gives the N ending. If a clue suggests a person or practice, familiar forms should lead; unusual endings need stronger letter evidence.

This opening can look productive because typing, typist, and typify are related, but the rare tail changes the practical picture. Tyrant and the remaining entries cover different clues. Check the exact letter count and final position before extending a familiar stem.

Typing, typist, and typify share a recognizable word family, while tyrant and tycoon are unrelated familiar anchors. The other entries are much less common, which makes exact crossings essential. A clue that suggests a person, action, or object can separate these common words before the rarer spellings enter consideration.

A practical clue check

Tip

TYPIFY scores 17, one point above TYKISH. That ranking is useful when the board favors high-value letters, but clue solving should favor the much more familiar typing, tyrant, or tycoon when their meanings fit.
