Which matching words score most?

QUAKING scores 21, the highest figure in the ranking; FEAZING and QUAHAUG follow at 20. AMAZING, BLAZING, BRAZING, CRAZING, CEAZING, and PEAZING each score 19, while GRAZING scores 18. READING, HEARING, and PLAYING offer more familiar-looking alternatives.

The first letter gives you a fast way to cut the pool: S has 49 matches, more than twice B's 22. Once A and final G are fixed, sort by the opening letter before testing less familiar possibilities.

The average score is 11.5, well below QUAKING's lead. A score-first search can surface unusual entries, so compare a candidate with recognizable matches such as AMAZING or TRADING.

Collins covers nearly all 227 matches with 225; ENABLE has 175. Acceptance varies by dictionary, so check your game's word list before relying on an unfamiliar candidate.

How do you narrow the pattern quickly?

• Keep the frame _ _ A _ _ _ G visible, then sort by first letter; S, B, and C lead the counts.
• Try familiar stems such as READ-, PLAY-, HEAR-, and LEAV- to surface READING, PLAYING, HEARING, and LEAVING.
• For score-first play, keep QUAKING at the top with 21; a high score does not make an entry familiar.
• Treat the 72 common matches as a starting pool, not the full set: 227 words fit, and 197 have definitions.
• Use 7-letter words with A as the 3rd letter and G as the 7th letter as a fixed frame, then test the open slots.
