Where do the matches start and end?

S dominates the opening position, but the endings spread out more evenly: E leads with six, and D, R, and S tie at four apiece. Just one word ends in G, so a final G narrows the pattern sharply. Most matches do not share a single obvious ending.

Dictionary coverage also varies. NWL2023 includes 22 of the 23 matches, compared with 18 in Collins and 16 in ENABLE. Those counts overlap, so a word accepted in one tournament list may not work in another; check your game’s word list before relying on an unfamiliar entry.
