Which examples fit the P–N frame?
OPENING, OPTIONS, APPOINT and UPFRONT show how much the final letter can change even with the sixth-position N fixed. G is the leading finish at 28, while E and S each account for 10. EPIGYNY scores 16, above SPIKING and SPOKING at 14, but is far less familiar than the everyday examples.
How do the endings narrow the search?
Five entries meet the common-word measure, so a large share of the 69 will feel specialized. The endings are a practical first filter: G is the largest branch, but it is not a majority of the full set. That distinction prevents a quick scan from overlooking options such as OPTIONS or UPFRONT.
