Why do so many matches end in S?

Twenty-five of the 34 matches end in S, while four end in Y; T closes two, and A, E, and H close one apiece. Use the final letter as a quick filter: a candidate ending in any other letter cannot fit.

GALLOPS, WALLOPS, DOLLOPS, PULLUPS, and HOLDUPS all place L third and P sixth. Their shared S ending makes the pattern easy to spot, but the words still need to match your clue and game list.

The neighboring pattern with L third and E sixth has 531 matches, compared with 34 when P takes the sixth spot. That sharp difference makes P the more restrictive clue; switching only that fixed letter changes the size of the search.
