Which examples fit the P–T frame?
SPOTTED, SPATIAL, UPSTATE and EPITOME all place T in the fourth slot, yet their endings differ. E leads with 12, followed by S with eight and D with six. EPITAXY tops the scores at 19; SPITZES and SPATZLE each reach 18.
How do the endings narrow the search?
Only four entries meet the common-word measure, so even familiar anchors do not make this a fully everyday group. The spread of endings is useful when the rack or board gives you a final-letter clue. Do not read the shared T as a suffix marker: it sits inside words with different shapes and endings.
A scoring clue from EPITAXY
Epitaxy’s 19 points make it the score standout, but its unfamiliar form calls for a dictionary check before a high-risk play. SPOTTED is much easier to recognize, and its D ending places it in a six-word branch rather than the leading E group.
