Which starting and ending letters dominate?
Starting letters cluster around S, C, and P: eight matches begin with S, six with C, and five with P. SLEIGHT, SLEUTHS, and SLOUCHY show the range within the S group, from a familiar noun to less common forms.
Endings are more concentrated: 13 words finish in S, seven in Y, and five in T. PLOUGHS and SLEIGHS illustrate the S ending, while BLOTCHY and GLITCHY show the Y group. If your final tile is fixed, that ending pattern quickly narrows the candidates.
Which words score highest in Scrabble?
BLOTCHY and CLUTCHY lead the listed Scrabble scores at 17 points each. Both pack C, H, and Y into the same seven-letter word, so they stand out even before a premium board square is involved.
The 7-letter words with L as the 2nd letter and H as the 6th letter are not equally portable across games: Collins has 27 matches, while ENABLE and NWL2023 have 18 apiece. A Collins entry outside your game's accepted list will not count as a play, so check the active dictionary before committing an unfamiliar form such as CLEUGHS.
