Which TS words score the most?
TSADDIQ tops the ranking at 18 points, five more than TSADDIK at 13. The Q spelling beats its K variant, so test both endings when you spot the shared TSADDI- shape.
TSKTSKS scores 15, though its consonant sequence is hard to recognize at a glance. More approachable alternatives include TSATSKE, TSIMMES, and TSAMBAS, each worth 11 points. The familiar TSUNAMI scores 9, a reminder that a recognizable word does not necessarily lead the score table.
How do these seven-letter words end?
Seven of the 17 words end in S. The others finish with A, E, M, I, K, Q, or T; A, E, and M occur twice, while each remaining ending appears once. TSARIST, TSOTSIS, and TSETSes illustrate the S ending, while TSUNAMI ends in I and TSARINA ends in A.
The pattern is unusually narrow: T-A begins 385 seven-letter words, T-R begins 333, and T-S has just 17. For 7-letter words with T as 1st and S as 2nd letter, check the final tile early; it quickly separates candidates such as TSARINA, TSARISM, and TSARDOM. Fourteen entries have definitions, but rare forms are not accepted uniformly, so check your game's word list before relying on one.
