The pattern holds P in position 1 and S in position 5, leaving the remaining tiles to separate 84 candidates. A compact group of 84. S is the most common finish, but it accounts for fewer than half the entries..

At a glance for P and S

  • 84 words match the fixed P and S positions.
  • 9 meet the common-word measure.
  • 40 end in S.
  • PHRASED leads the score list at 13 points.

Which examples fit the P–S frame?

Start with the familiar cluster PLEASED, PRESSED and PRAISED. Their shared frame leaves the sixth and seventh positions free, creating different endings from near-identical beginnings. PHRASES and PRESSES also show how a fixed fifth S can sit inside several recognizable word shapes without making them the same grammatical form.

How do the endings narrow the search?

Forty entries end in S, while D appears on 10 and E and R each appear on eight. That spread matters: an S at position five does not force an S at the end. PHRased tops the score list at 13, alongside PANISKS and PAPISMS, so the leading points are modest compared with the longer premium plays on many seven-letter boards.

A scoring clue from PHRASED

Tip

Only nine entries fall among the commonest words, despite approachable examples such as PLEASED and PRAISED. Treat the familiar words as a starting shortlist, not the whole answer set. The unusual scoring leaders can be dictionary-sensitive; check your game’s word list before spending a turn on a less familiar form.
