This is the largest U pattern in the set, and it is built almost entirely from verb and noun endings. S, R and D close more than nine words in ten. Learn those three and the long list shrinks to a manageable shape.

The ?U???E? list in numbers

ENABLE accepts 592, NWL2023 accepts 655 and Collins accepts 828.
Fifty words are common, from FURTHER and QUARTER to HUNDRED and BUBBLES.
Scores average 12.2, and QUIZZED leads on 35.
B opens 98 words, M opens 74, and Q and P open 67 each.
I is the fifth letter of 272 words and L of 207.

Which three endings cover almost every word?

-ES leads with 344 words, -ER follows with 234 and -ED has 191. Add them together and you reach 769 of 844, about 91 percent.

Within those, -IER has 137 words, -IES has 111, -LES has 83 and -LED has 72. BUDDIES, BULLIES and PUPPIES show the -IES group, MUSCLES and BUBBLES the -LES group, and FUNNIER the -IER group.

The other 75 words end elsewhere, with 27 in -EN and 9 in -ET, so those are the rare cases.

What does the fifth letter tell you?

I sits fifth in 272 words, nearly a third, and L sits fifth in 207, about a quarter. Together they account for 479 of the 844, which is 57 percent.

T follows with 69 and H with 64, and the H group includes PUNCHED and BUTCHER. When all else fails, test I and L first, because they settle more than half the list in two guesses.

Which words score best, and how many fail in NWL2023?

QUIZZED scores 35, and QUIZZER and QUIZZES score 34. HUZZAED, FUZZLED and WUZZLED score 29 each, though FUZZLED and WUZZLED are Collins-only.

Overall, 189 of the 844 fail in NWL2023, including QUACKER, QUAERED, QUANNET and QUASHEE.
