An 11-word set gives K in the opening and U in the fourth slot a narrow search space. KREUZER scores 20, but KAHUNAS and KORUNAS give you recognizable S-ending alternatives. No entry is common by frequency, and only seven have definitions, so a quick dictionary check matters more than memorizing the full list.

Eleven options with five singleton endings

  • The tournament list has 11 matches.
  • 0 entries meet the common-frequency measure.
  • 7 words have definitions.
  • KREUZER leads scoring at 20 points.

What stands out in this U frame?

This is the smallest set here: 11 words, with no common-frequency entries. KREUZER leads scoring at 20; KIKUYUS follows at 18, and KABUKIS and KIKUMON both score 17. KAHUNAS and KORUNAS offer more recognizable plural-shaped anchors, but the full group still leans toward vocabulary worth checking before a play.

Six candidates end in S; D, H, N, R, and T each account for one more; Seven entries have definitions, so four matches lack that coverage; The endings do not cluster as tightly as the small total might suggest; If your rack supports an S, test that route first, then compare the lone alternatives against your board.

KREUZER tops the 11 at 20, followed by KIKUYUS at 18. KABUKIS and KIKUMON tie for third at 17.

KREUZER tops the 11 at 20, followed by KIKUYUS at 18. KABUKIS and KIKUMON tie for third at 17. Board bonuses can change the practical order, so consider the open squares as well as the printed values.
