With T parked in sixth place, only one letter follows it. That final letter is S for 105 words and E for 53, so the pattern is close to a two-way fork. Settle that last letter and the rest is a matter of picking a common stem such as BULL-, BUDG- or NUGG-.

What to know about U-2nd, T-6th words

  • Dictionary split: 187 words in Collins, 146 in NWL2023, 131 in ENABLE.
  • The last letter is S in 105 words and E in 53, with Y closing 16 and H closing 9.
  • Common words number 16, among them BULLETS, QUALITY, BURRITO and PUBERTY.
  • QUIXOTE scores 23, and the average is 10.6.
  • OUT- opens 18 words, ahead of TUR- with 9 and SUB- with 8.

Which words end in -ETS in this pattern?

47 words end in -ETS, almost a quarter of the frame. The everyday ones are BULLETS, OUTLETS, BUDGETS, BUCKETS, NUGGETS, PUPPETS and TURRETS, with BUFFETS and MUSKETS a step rarer.

All of them end in S, so a spare S tile is the natural fit. If the board offers a hook at the end, test a stem like BULLET or NUGGET before reaching for anything unusual.

What about the -ATE and -ITY words?

-ATE gives 25 words, with SULFATE as the only common one and PULSATE, CUSPATE and VULGATE close behind. -ITY adds 11, led by QUALITY and DUALITY, plus rarer cousins such as NULLITY and SUAVITY.

For high scores, look at the Q and K words, since a 10-point Q or 5-point K does the work. QUIXOTE reaches 23, KUNZITE 20, QUIGHTS 20 and QUALITY 19.
