S starts 49 matches, followed by T at 21 and G at 15. But the ending is even more concentrated: 146 words end in S, with T a distant second at 32. This produces many plural-looking examples, though not every S ending should be assumed to be a plural.

There are 15 common words and 191 entries with definitions in the reference dictionaries. DRIVERS, WRITERS, RAIDERS, and SPIDERS are recognizable; the same frame also includes less familiar forms. The fixed positions narrow the spelling, not the difficulty of the vocabulary.

QUIVERY scores 22, ZAITECH scores 21, and KAIZENS and ZAIDEHS each make 20. The unusual high scorers contrast with ordinary examples such as CHINESE and TOILETS. These are tile totals before any board multiplier.
