Because all 33 finish with D, the first tile is a better sorting clue than the final square. S leads that opening split with eight.

This fixed final D is a strong clue in crosswords and board searches. After spotting it, compare PLAYED and STAYED with less common SAYYID; the shared pattern does not make their meanings or dictionary status alike. S is the most productive starting tile.
