How the T–K pattern narrows choices

SHTICKY scores 19, while JETLIKE and KATHAKS each score 18. Their high values come from less routine letter combinations, unlike the more familiar HOTCAKE, which scores 16.

A is the most frequent first letter, with nine entries; O is next with six. The exact slots matter: each named example keeps the required letters in place, even when its ending or opening changes.

Only one entry falls in the common-word group, so a familiar-looking pattern can still lead into specialist vocabulary. Confirm acceptance in the game’s dictionary before risking a turn.

Check E first when the final slot is unknown: 20 candidates end there, compared with 17 ending in S. ATTACKS and OUTTAKE make the S/E split easy to remember.

The pattern is most useful after you have one or two crossing letters; then its candidate count becomes a practical shortlist rather than a guessing prompt.
