Which endings and starting letters are most common?

S is the most frequent final letter: 17 of the 36 words end in S. E comes next with 6, while R appears at the end of 3. With the last tile unknown, S is the first letter to try.

The first letter is even more concentrated. A begins 22 matches, compared with 9 starting with O, 4 with E, and 1 with U. That makes ASPIRIN and ASSISTS good familiar candidates when the first tile is A; an O-starting answer is possible, but much less common.

How should you use this letter pattern?

For 7-letter words with S as the 2nd letter and I as the 4th letter, settle those two positions first and leave the endings for later. ASSISTS and ASSIGNS show how a final S can fit a recognizable word, while ASPIRIN ends differently.

ASSIZED is the scoring standout at 17, but its value depends on placing it well; a high base score is not a guaranteed play. ASPICKS reaches 15, while ASHIVER scores 13. Weigh what the cross-letters allow and which premium squares are open before you commit.

The set is limited in everyday vocabulary: only 3 matches are common, even though 30 have definitions. Treat obscure forms as possibilities, not safe plays, and check your game’s word list when a candidate is unfamiliar.
