This pattern is a past-tense machine. The prefix UN- starts 137 of the 164 words and UP- starts 18, which accounts for 155 between them. The real decision is the letter before -ED: R, T and L are the commonest, while X and Z carry the big scores and the rare tiles.

Pattern facts for U _ _ _ _ _ D

  • Collins accepts 160 words, NWL2023 accepts 129 and ENABLE accepts 112.
  • Six words are common in everyday English: UNHEARD, UNIFIED, UPDATED, UNARMED, UNNAMED and UTTERED.
  • The -RED group is the largest with 18 words, then -TED with 13 and -LED with 11.
  • Nineteen words score 15 or more; the average is 11.3.

Which letter before -ED scores the most?

Z and X. UNFAZED and UPGAZED lead at 20, UPSIZED follows at 19, and UNFIXED, UNVEXED, UNWAXED and UNVAXED tie at 18. UNBOXED and UNMIXED make 17, and UNRAZED matches them.

Eight words have X in fifth place and five have Z there, so 13 words carry a high tile at the front of -ED. If your rack holds an X or Z, check this pattern before anything else.

What are the biggest middle clusters?

A is the fourth letter in 46 words, O in 32 and I in 30. UNBAKED, UNCAGED and UNPAVED sit in the A group, UNFOUND and UNBOUND in the O group, and UNHIRED and UNLINED in the I group.

The third letter spreads out much more: B has 17 words, S has 16, and F and C have 13 each. If you know the third letter, use it first, since no single choice there holds more than 17 words.
