The pattern is _ H _ _ _ _ S: H sits in slot two, and S closes every answer. C opens 133 matches, followed by S with 120 and T with 52. CHANGES, CHARGES, CHANCES and CHOICES are the familiar ones, but plenty of rarer spellings fit too.

The pattern at a glance

432 words match both fixed positions, and every one ends in S.
C is the leading first letter, with 133 matches; S follows with 120.
CHANGES, CHARGES, CHANCES, and CHOICES are familiar examples.
WHIZZES tops the score list at 31 points.

Which starting letters occur most often?

C leads by 13 words over S: 133 matches start with C, while 120 begin with S. Those openings account for more than half the pattern, with T next at 52 and P at 38. Try the C and S clusters first when either letter is already fixed on your rack.

W starts 28 answers, including WHEREAS, while R starts 16. K and B are smaller groups, with 13 and 11 matches respectively. That steep drop after the first few letters makes the opening tile a strong filter, even before you check the rest of your rack.

The more recognizable choices include SHADOWS, SHOWERS, SHIELDS, and THREADS. A less familiar spelling can still fit the pattern, so use these examples as starting points rather than a complete vocabulary test.

Scores and dictionary limits

WHIZZES scores 31 points, while CHIZZES and PHIZZES each score 30. Their repeated Zs drive the high totals; CHANGES and CHARGES are easier to recognize, but score less. If your rack has a Z, check the exact spelling before building a play around it.

Only 25 matches are classed as common, so many entries are less familiar than CHANCES or CHOICES. The combined count includes words from tournament dictionaries, but not every game accepts every entry. Check your game's word list before committing to an unfamiliar word.

After the fixed H and S, let the opening-letter groups sort what remains: C and S first, then T and P.
