With R locked in last place, the frame _ U _ _ _ _ R is a suffix puzzle with one overwhelming answer. Comparatives in -IER make up almost half the list, and -LER, -HER and -TER split most of the remainder. After those, it is the rare Z and Q finds that matter.

Pattern facts at a glance

Openers: B starts 30 words, F 24, M 23, P 22, S 21 and Q 19.
QUIZZER scores 34, FUZZIER 28, and PUZZLER, MUZZLER, MUZZIER and BUZZIER 27.
Collins takes 272 of the 279, NWL2023 takes 229 and ENABLE takes 204.
17 matches are common words, from FURTHER to BURGLAR.

What are the -IER words?

137 of the 279, or nearly half. They are comparatives of adjectives that end in -Y: LUCKIER, DUCKIER, MUCKIER, YUCKIER, QUAKIER and SUCKIER, plus FUNNIER among the common ones.

A Z often hides in this group. FURZIER, FUZZIER, MUZZIER and BUZZIER all end in -ZIER, and the three with a double Z reach 27 or more in score. FURZIER, with a single Z, scores only 19.

To test an -IER guess, take off the ending and add Y: LUCK becomes LUCKY, and FUZZ becomes FUZZY. If the Y form is a real adjective with U second, the comparative almost certainly fits the frame.

Which other endings are worth knowing?

-LER has 43 words, such as PUZZLER, MUZZLER, BUCKLER and PUDDLER. -HER and -TER have 12 and 11, with BUTCHER, BURGHER, LURCHER and FURTHER in the first group and QUARTER, QUIETER, QUITTER and MUNSTER in the second.

-LAR gives 12 more, including BURGLAR and TUBULAR, and -TOR gives 6, among them CURATOR and AUDITOR.
