For STORE, the pattern _T_R_ fixes positions 2 and 4. It matches 23 of 14757 words in our independent five-letter dictionary: OTARY, STARE, STARK, STARN, STARR, STARS, START, STARY ….
20 dictionary words differ at exactly one position: SCORE, SHORE, SMORE, SNORE, SPORE, STARE, STERE, STIRE …. Check that differing position before treating a familiar spelling as the solution.
This comparison explains spelling constraints. These are dictionary matches, not the publisher's accepted guesses or historical answer pool.
