Tips for this pattern
- Check the letter before -T. N comes right before it in 39 words (14%), as in POINT and FRONT. S (39) and E (35) follow.
- Then the first letter. S starts 44 of these words (16%), like START and SHORT, and A starts 24.
- A strong first guess. If you know the word ends in T, LEAST is a good opener: it tests E, A and S, three of the seven most common letters in the open spots.
