7-letter words with P at a glance

• REPORTS, EXPOSED, OPPOSED, DEPOSIT are example words to test against the clue.

Which endings lead?

S closes 41 entries, D closes 16, and R closes 14. REPORTS and EXPORTS show the first route; EXPOSED and IMPOSED show the second.

Fourteen entries belong to the common group, which leaves plenty of less familiar possibilities around the 11.9 average score. The strongest score, 24, is nearly double that average; HYPOXIA at 22 and HYPONYM at 20 also sit well above it. Recognizable forms such as REPORTS, IMPORTS and DEPOSIT make the fixed PO sequence easier to see, but score-focused searches should also inspect the X forms.

The final position has a clear hierarchy rather than a single ending: 41 S, 16 D and 14 R. Checking the smaller endings after those three keeps a search complete.

REPORTS and DEPOSIT are solid recall cues, but the biggest scores come from HYPOXIC and HYPOXIA. Their X tiles give them an edge over common forms. Scan the 41 S endings first, then the D and R groups before checking the remaining options.

The score table has a twist

The familiar core is small

The common group contains fourteen words, while 88 have definitions. Use REPORTS and EXPOSED for recall before turning to the unusual score leaders.

REPORTS and EXPOSED are easy to spot, whereas the HYPOXIC group dominates the score ranking.

REPORTS and EXPOSED are familiar forms; HYPOXIC and HYPOXIA lead the point totals. Those differences give you a practical way to separate recall from score value.

REPORTS, EXPOSED and IMPORTS show several familiar routes through the PO pair. The 41 S endings lead, while D and R add several more candidates. The scoring leaders are separate from this common vocabulary cluster.

The fixed PO sequence appears in several familiar forms, but each last tile creates a different branch. Scan S, D and R, then test the remaining endings.
