What stands out among 146 matches?
STORAGE, STOMACH, FOOTAGE, and VIOLATE place O third and A fifth. R begins 14 entries, N and S begin 12 each, and L follows at 11. The range of openings makes the fixed middle pair a more dependable clue than an assumed first letter.
S is the most frequent ending at 38 matches, with Y next at 19. STORAGE, FOOTAGE, and ISOLATE all finish in E, showing that other tails remain common enough to matter. Use an exact final square to trim the pool instead of assuming an S ending.
Which entries merit a closer look?
ZOOTAXY scores 26 points, ahead of ZOOTYPE at 24 and ZOOLOGY at 20. These Z-heavy leaders are less familiar than STORAGE or FOOTAGE. Separate the question of whether a word fits from how quickly it comes to mind.
No answers match this seven-letter pattern. Use the fixed O-A positions for other puzzles, then apply a known first or last tile as a second filter.
A practical way to work the pattern
STORAGE and STOMACH both begin with S, but the shared clue is their internal O-A arrangement. Once those fixed cells are penciled in, use the final square to sort plausible completions.
The leading S and Y groups are useful, though E-ending examples remain important. This clue works best as a middle-frame search, with outer letters applied after the sequence is secure.
Keep O and A in their exact cells; changing either one breaks the clue even when the word seems close.
