• BECAUSE and BICYCLE are familiar pattern anchors.

What examples help you scan the list?

BECAUSE and BECOMES put E in the second position, while BACKING, BACKERS, BACKLOG, and BACKUPS use the A-C opening. BICYCLE and BUCKEYE shift the vowel but keep the fixed C. These recognizable examples make useful anchors when you have B first and need to work out the surrounding tiles.

The last letter is most often S, appearing in 29 matches. E is next with 11 and T follows with 10, so plural or inflected endings make up a substantial part of the pattern. Yet the list also closes in A, D, G, M, or R; BACKHOE and BUCKEYE show why the final tile should not be assumed.

The fixed opening B-C does not mean the letters must sit next to each other. One slot separates them, as BACKING and BICYCLE show; use that middle tile to distinguish A-led and vowel-shifted patterns.
