Tips for this pattern
- Check the letter before -S. E comes right before it in 306 words (22%), as in TIMES and MAKES. T (182) and L (114) follow.
- Then the first letter. S starts 161 of these words (12%), like SEEMS and SHOWS, and B starts 112.
- A strong first guess. If you know the word ends in S, RATES is a good opener: it tests R, A, T and E, four of the seven most common letters in the open spots.
