Tips for this pattern

  • Check the letter before -A. M comes right before it in 12 words (15%), as in DRAMA and SIGMA. N (10) and T (10) follow.
  • Then the first letter. P starts 9 of these words (11%), like PIZZA, and S starts 9.
  • A strong first guess. If you know the word ends in A, OPERA is a good opener: it tests O and R, two of the seven most common letters in the open spots.
