Tips for this pattern
- Check the letter before -E. S comes right before it in 56 words (12%), as in THESE and THOSE. L (43) and G (42) follow.
- Then the first letter. S starts 85 of these words (18%), like STATE and SINCE, and A starts 43.
- A strong first guess. If you know the word ends in E, RAISE is a good opener: it tests R, A, I and S, four of the seven most common letters in the open spots.
