INNINGS and UNDERGO are easy starting points when scanning the pattern. ANALOGY, ENDINGS, and INDULGE also fit, while ONSTAGE and ENLARGE show how varied the opening letters can be.

The dictionary counts differ: Collins includes 28 of these words, NWL2023 has 23, and ENABLE has 21. The combined set has 29, so a word accepted in one game may not be valid in another. Check your game's word list before playing a less familiar entry.
