Only 18 candidates place S in the sixth slot after an opening K, and none are common by frequency. KINDEST, KEYLESS, and KEENEST read easily; KNAVISH leads scoring at 17. Endings split evenly between H and S, six apiece, so the final square stays open to two equally likely routes.

A balanced split at the final tile

  • The tournament list has 18 matches.
  • 0 entries meet the common-frequency measure.
  • 14 words have definitions.
  • KNAVISH leads scoring at 17 points.

What stands out in this S frame?

Just 18 words meet this arrangement, and none are common-frequency entries. KINDEST, KEYLESS, and KEENEST are among the approachable examples, while KADDISH, KIDDUSH, and KNAVISH give the set a very different vocabulary texture. KNAVISH scores 17, one point ahead of KADDISH and KIDDUSH at 16.

The sixth tile does not predict a single ending: H and S each close six words, T closes three, and three other endings occur once apiece. Fourteen matches have definitions. For solving, that split is the useful clue: after placing the fixed S, check both H and S as final letters before spending a turn on an unfamiliar form.

KNAVISH takes 17, one ahead of KADDISH and KIDDUSH. The leaders are compact examples of how this frame crosses different word families.

KNAVISH sits just above KADDISH and KIDDUSH. Those close scores make tile placement more important than the raw values when you compare the leaders.

Play strategy for this K…S frame

Tip

H and S are tied at six endings each. T appears three times, and E, I, M appear once apiece.

Questions people ask

What are the common final letters?
H and S tie, with six words ending in each. T closes three more, while E, I, and M appear once each. The pattern therefore offers two equal first checks and a smaller third option.
Which entry has the top score?
KNAVISH scores 17 points. KADDISH and KIDDUSH follow at 16 apiece. The three-point leaders are not necessarily the easiest plays to recall, so use the familiar KINDEST or KEYLESS as recognition anchors.
Why check both H and S as final letters?
Each ending appears six times, making them tied leaders in an 18-word set. T closes three more words, and E, I, and M each occur once, so the three main options cover most of the candidates.
