E-second words with P fifth in practice

Only 47 words meet this tight frame. R starts 10, while M and S start 8 each; no opening dominates the way the fixed P does in the center. The small pool rewards careful checking of each known tile.

HEXAPOD takes the top score at 20, followed by HEXAPLA at 19 and PERSPEX at 18. The high scorer is recognizable to some players, but the bulk of the set is not everyday vocabulary.

Just 2 of these 47 entries are common English words. That is the key limitation: a tempting sequence can match the letter positions without being a word your game accepts.

How to use the fixed letters
