Pattern facts at a glance

Which openings carry the most choices?
C starts 63 entries and S starts 44. P and T each contribute 20, while W adds 16. The familiar examples span these branches: CHARITY and CHEMIST begin with C, SHOWING and SHARING with S, PHYSICS with P, and THRIVING with T.
CHYMIFY scores 23, above CHORIZO and CHYLIFY at 21. GHAZIES follows at 20, then CHEWINK at 19. This score ladder mixes unusual spellings with a less obscure pattern, so recognize the fifth-position I before reaching for the top value.
Examples stretch across word types and openings: CHARITY and CHEMIST begin with C, SHARING begins with S, and PHYSICS shows P. The fixed I in position five ties them together. A final G is more common than S, even though S is the second largest ending group.
Twenty-one common matches mean this pattern offers more everyday anchors than many letter-position searches. Still, the complete group is much larger than its familiar slice. Lock in H second and I fifth first, then use C or S starts and G or S endings to narrow the remaining letters.
A practical way to narrow the pattern
For an ending clue, test G first; its 51 matches exceed S by 15.
