No candidate qualifies as common by frequency, although 11 have definitions. Endings are spread across five letters: R leads with five, C and D have three each, S has three, and E has two. The set is small enough to scan, but not familiar enough to play from pattern alone; verify a rare form against your game list.

SKEPTIC is the highest at 15; SKAITHS and SKARTHS are one point lower. The score gap is small, but the familiarity gap is not.

Questions people ask

Which opening appears across most candidates?
SK starts 14 of the 16 entries. AKRATIC and EKISTIC are the only exceptions. SKEPTIC is the most familiar anchor, but the remaining forms vary in how recognizable they are, so use the opening as a filter rather than proof that a word is playable.
Which final letter is most frequent?
R leads with five words. C, D, and S each close three matches, while E closes two. The end position is more varied than the opening, so keep several final tiles in play while testing the rack.
Are AKRATIC and EKISTIC the only non-SK options?
Yes. They are the two exceptions among 16 matches; the other 14 start SK. Both are less familiar than SKEPTIC, so confirm either before using it in a game.
