This is a big frame, and four endings handle just over half of it: -TER with 39 words, -IER with 35, -DER with 26 and -HER with 25. S opens the biggest group of first letters at 50. Work from the last three letters inward, then settle the opening.

The U third, R seventh list in numbers

  • Collins accepts 232 of the 240, NWL2023 accepts 197 and ENABLE accepts 178.
  • Twenty-three words are common, including YOUNGER, COUNTER, FOUNDER, THUNDER, CLUSTER and BOULDER.
  • S opens 50 words, C opens 38, B opens 28, P opens 18 and G opens 17.
  • The leading scores are CHUKKER and CHUKKAR at 20, then AQUIFER, AQUIVER and AQUAFER at 19.
  • A typical word scores 11.1.

Which endings dominate 7-letter words with U 3rd and R 7th?

-TER gives COUNTER, CLUSTER, SHUTTER, CLUTTER, FLUTTER and SAUNTER. -IER gives COURIER, SAUCIER and BOUVIER, and -DER gives THUNDER, FOUNDER, BOULDER, SHUDDER, BLUNDER and ASUNDER.

-HER gives TOUGHER, VOUCHER, CRUSHER, SOUTHER and LAUGHER. Add -KER with 18 words and -GER with 16, and six endings account for 159 of the 240.

Which words earn the most points?

CHUKKER and CHUKKAR share the lead at 20, followed by AQUIFER, AQUIVER and AQUAFER at 19 and CHUCKER at 18. CHUKKER, CHUKKAR, AQUIFER and AQUIVER are valid in all three major dictionaries.

AQUAFER is Collins-only and CHUCKER is NWL2023 and Collins only. With 232 words in Collins and 178 in ENABLE, the gap is 54 words, so check before you commit.

Opening letters matter too. S begins 50 words and C begins 38, which makes S or C the first guess for roughly 37 percent of the frame.

Where to start with a loose rack

Tip

Begin with the ending that matches your last tile: T for COUNTER and CLUSTER, D for THUNDER and FOUNDER, H for TOUGHER and VOUCHER. The fourth letter after the U then fixes the family, so confirm it second.
