Which endings appear most often?
S and E are the clear leaders: 33 matches end in S, and 15 end in E. A and H each appear three times at the end, Y appears twice, and O appears once. When the last tile is unknown, testing S first follows the strongest pattern in this group.
Impacts, insects, imports, infants, and insists show how often a familiar plural fits. Other recognizable entries include isolate, imitate, inflate, infects, and invents. That mix gives you several everyday words to test before turning to rarer possibilities such as instate or ingrate.
