The pattern holds P in position 2 and T in position 6, leaving the remaining tiles to separate 40 candidates. S finishes 24 of the 40 matches. E is next with 11; the remaining endings are rare..

At a glance for P and T

  • 40 words match the fixed P and T positions.
  • 4 meet the common-word measure.
  • 24 end in S.
  • EPAZOTE leads the score list at 18 points.

Which examples fit the P–T frame?

OPERATE, SPIRITS, UPSTATE and SPROUTS share the sixth-position T but split across endings. S appears 24 times and E appears 11, leaving only five words to finish in Y, I or O. EPAZOTE scores 18, ahead of UPWAFTS at 15 and OPACITY at 14.

How do the endings narrow the search?

Four entries meet the common-word measure. The S-heavy distribution is strong, but it does not make every candidate plural: OPERATE ends in E and OPACITY in Y. Those two examples are good checks against overfitting a likely final S when the board fixes the sixth letter instead.

A scoring clue from EPAZOTE

Tip

EPAZOTE takes the scoring lead at 18, while the ending counts give a faster solving shortcut: test S first, then E. Keep Y, I and O in reserve; together they account for just five matches, yet they can rescue a pattern when the common endings are blocked.
