This narrow pattern produces an unusual set: none of the 20 words fall among the top 25,000 English words by frequency. Familiar-looking choices are scarce, so names such as AZALEAS sit beside less common entries like TZIMMES and PZAZZES. All 20 matches appear in Collins, while the North American and ENABLE counts are smaller.
