verb
(usually with out) to reach the limit, to reach the maximum.
“He maxed out his odds of dating Rebecca”
MAXED is a 5-letter word with 2 vowels (A, E) and 3 consonants (M, X, D). Every letter is distinct, so it rarely punishes a clean opening guess.
It leans on high-frequency letters (A, E), so a strong vowel-and-common-consonant opener tends to light up quickly. Watch for the less-common letter X — saving a guess to test it once the vowels are placed is usually the fastest route.
