Only five words put Z second and A third, and two of them are the same word spelled differently.

CZARS and TZARS Are One Word With Two Spellings

Both mean the emperors of Russia, and neither spelling has ever fully won. TSARS is a third version of the same word, and it sits on the page for S second and A third rather than here.

So a single Russian title is scattered across two patterns on this site in three spellings. For a solver that is worth knowing, because confirming the letters does not settle which form a puzzle wants.

The Remaining ZA Words

An IZARD is a chamois of the Pyrenees and IZARS are loose outer garments worn in parts of North Africa and the Middle East. AZANS are Muslim calls to prayer.

None of the three is likely to be wanted. Knowing the list beats working from the letters on a page like this.

R takes the fourth box in four of the five and S closes four. The shape is almost fixed before you start.

Why is Z so rare in the second box

Z almost always sits at the start of a word or inside a longer one. Only a leading vowel or a C or T will put it in second place at this length.
