An X in position two makes a narrow pattern, but these entries are not all alike: most begin with E, and the list includes familiar forms such as experienced and explanation. Only 26 entries meet the common-word frequency cutoff. The rest include specialist vocabulary and less familiar spellings, so a match to the pattern alone does not guarantee a word will fit your game.

The pattern at a glance

  • There are 296 tournament-dictionary words with eleven letters and X in position two.
  • A total of 269 start with E; just 17 start with O and 10 with A.
  • EXCHEQUERED leads the score list at 33 points.
  • The most frequent final letter is S, appearing in 98 entries.

Why do most entries begin with E?

The pattern is overwhelmingly EX: 269 of the 296 words start with E. Examples include experienced, experiences, explanation, examination, and exceptional. OX accounts for 17 words, while AX accounts for 10, making those openings much smaller groups.

The endings vary more than the beginnings. S leads with 98 words, followed by E with 43 and Y with 42; N appears 29 times. That makes a known final letter a useful filter after the second-position X has narrowed your options.

Which words score highest?

EXCHEQUERED scores 33, with OXYRHYNCHUS and OXYGENIZING next at 32 each. EXTEMPORIZE reaches 31. These are strong tile-score candidates, but an unfamiliar high scorer is worth checking before you build a play around it.

Dictionary coverage differs sharply: Collins includes 289 matches, NWL2023 has 212, and ENABLE has 194. The average score is 22.2. The contrast matters more than the headline count when you are playing a specific ruleset.

Check the word before you commit

Note

For 11-letter words with X as the 2nd letter, confirm both the spelling and your game's dictionary. The 296-word total combines tournament lists; it does not mean every entry is accepted in every game.
