Just one entry is common, and several are specialist or borrowed forms. These are poor blind guesses; let crossings identify the word and verify it against your game list.

An A opening gives five candidates; otherwise, the remaining possibilities each start with a different letter. The fixed X at the end makes the first letter especially valuable.
