E-third words with A fifth in practice

P supplies 42 of the openings, far ahead of T at 16 and A at 13. E is the most common ending with 48 words, followed by S with 38. Those two edges give a strong search route without deciding the middle tiles for you.

QUEZALS leads at 25 points; VEEJAYS and GEEZAHS each reach 20. Their scores come from letter value, not how ordinary the words feel, so keep PREPARE or OPERATE in view when searching a rack.

Eighteen of 152 matches are common English words. The P opening is a strong clue, but the five-letter frame still leaves enough variation that a first-letter guess alone will not settle the answer.

How to use the fixed letters

Tip

Eighteen of 152 matches are common English words. The P opening is a strong clue, but the five-letter frame still leaves enough variation that a first-letter guess alone will not settle the answer. The position pattern is a filter; verify a less familiar candidate before playing.
