The R-A opening pattern at a glance

525 seven-letter entries match the pattern.
Traffic, trading, granted and graphic are examples to scan for.
S ends 128 entries; D, E and R each end 89, 66 and 66.
There are 70 common entries, more than in any of the narrower R patterns listed alongside this set.
The opening letter G leads with 100 entries, then B with 84 and T with 73.

How does the R-A cluster branch out?

S endings are especially productive in this pattern, with 128 candidates; D endings contribute another 89. The four leading endings together cover much of the search space, while crazily offers a more approachable high score than frazzle if its letters align with your rack.
