Just 4 entries fall among the most common English words, and 22 have definitions, so the letter pattern is easier to recognize than every answer is to know. For scale, the W-first/I-fifth pattern has 235 matches, far more than this P-position set.

Which patterns make these words easier to spot?
Many examples build from WH and a consonant cluster around P: WHIPPED, WHOPPED, WHUPPED, WHOMPED, and WHAPPED share the -PPED ending, while WHISPER and WHIMPER place P before E-R. Scan familiar WH words first, then check the fifth tile rather than assuming every answer ends in -PPED.
