The strongest plays are not everyday vocabulary, either: YAKKING, YUKKING, and YOKKING lead on score, while INKLING is the standout familiar-looking example.

Which matches score highest?
YAKKING, YUKKING, and YOKKING share the top score at 19 points apiece. Their repeated high-value letters make these the scoring standouts, even though the fixed pattern offers few choices.
PAKFONG follows at 17 points, while LEKKING scores 16. INKLING, ANKLING, and OAKLING each score 12, so a familiar-looking word does not necessarily beat an unusual one on the rack.
Which letters start these words?
A and Y tie as the most frequent opening letters, with three matches each. The A group includes ANKLING and ANKLONG; Y contributes YAKKING, YUKKING, and YOKKING.
P appears twice, through PAKFONG and PAKTONG. D, I, L, O, and T each start one match. For a word puzzle, that spread makes the first letter a useful narrowing clue once K and the final G are confirmed.
Which word-game dictionaries include them?
All 13 matches are in Collins, compared with six in NWL2023 and four in ENABLE. Those source counts overlap: they do not divide the words into separate groups.
The neighboring pattern with K third and E last has 14 matches, just one more than this G-ending set. Check your game's word list before playing, since dictionary coverage differs.
