R in sixth place leaves one tile, and the frame _ U _ _ _ R _ is a straightforward story about plurals. More than half the list ends in -ERS, and S closes nearly two thirds. That makes the final S the one clue to confirm before anything else.

The U-R frame in numbers

  • Closing letters: S 223, Y 41, E 21, T 13, D 11 and K 9.
  • Opening letters: B 43, S 37, P 28, and G 26, with C and O at 22 each.
  • BUZZARD scores 28, BUZZERS 27 and NUZZERS 25.
  • Everyday words are plentiful: 30 of the 343 are common, such as SUPPORT, CULTURE and NURSERY.

How many of these words end in -ERS?

177 of the 343, or just over half. NUMBERS, MURDERS, RUNNERS, HUNTERS, SUFFERS, SUMMERS, BURGERS and JUMPERS are typical, and each is a plural noun or a verb form built on a four-letter stem.

-ARS adds 23 more, such as GUITARS, PULSARS and FULMARS, and -URS adds 14. Between the three, S-enders with an R before them reach 214 of the 223.

The practical test is to drop the -ERS and see whether a four-letter start with U second remains: NUMB, MURD, HUNT, SUFF, SUMM, BURG and JUMP all do. If the stem works, the plural almost certainly does too.

What fills the other endings?

-ERY has 29 words, including NURSERY, QUIVERY, QUAVERY and PUFFERY. -ARD has 10, such as CUSTARD, MUSTARD, OUTWARD and BUZZARD, and -URE has 9, such as CULTURE, VULTURE, RUPTURE and NURTURE.

OUT- opens 19 words in the frame. OUTWARD is the common one, and SUPPORT and AUTHORS show how words with a different shape still fit.

High scores in a low-scoring frame

Tip

BUZZARD makes 28 and BUZZERS 27, and both are valid in Collins, NWL2023 and ENABLE. Z-based words lift this frame well above its 11.3 average, so keep a Z for them.
