This is a big, friendly frame, and the fifth-place E sets up a very common tail. One word in three ends in -ERS, and almost every plural that qualifies uses it. Learn that single suffix and you can sort more than a hundred of the 238 words at a glance.

Five facts about the R___E frame

  • 238 words fit, and 25 of them are common English.
  • S ends 147 words, which is more than three in five.
  • T ends 39, Y ends 14 and D ends 10.
  • 191 carry a definition, and the average score is 10.
  • Two double-Z words share the top score of 25.

How much does -ERS explain?

Seventy-nine of the 238 words end in -ERS, so about a third of the list is one agent-noun pattern. READERS, RANGERS, RUNNERS and RAIDERS show it, and rappers, robbers and rollers do too. Because the S is nearly automatic, the first four letters decide almost everything.

Next in line are -EST with 22, -ETS with 19, -ELS with 13, -ESS with 11 and -ERY with 9. RICHEST is a typical -EST word, and ROCKETS a typical -ETS one. K and O close only four words each, so they are poor first bets.

Which second letter should you test first?

E leads with 83 words, then A with 51, O with 43 and I with 38. U adds 21 more. RE- words such as RESPECT, REQUEST, REFLECT, retreat and refresh are the bulk.

That is about 35 percent for E alone. If your clue suggests a prefix like re-, you already have the answer in outline, and the fifth-place E confirms the shape.
