The X-ending clue narrows this length to a single answer: ADMINISTRATRIX, a 24-point word that begins with A. It appears in ENABLE, Collins, and NWL2023, yet none of the matching words meet the common-word cutoff. That makes this a specialist entry rather than an everyday option.

The key facts about this X-ending entry

  • Exactly one 14-letter word ends in X: ADMINISTRATRIX.
  • The only match begins with A and finishes with X.
  • ENABLE, Collins, and NWL2023 each include the word.
  • ADMINISTRATRIX scores 24 points, the highest score for this clue.

How many 14-letter words ending in X are there?

There is one: ADMINISTRATRIX. Its unusual A-to-X shape makes the clue highly restrictive; no second 14-letter entry shares the final letter. That single-match result holds across the tournament dictionaries counted here, rather than depending on just one word list.

The contrast with other endings is striking. The same-length list has 5,146 words ending in S, while this X clue has one. For X-ending words overall, seven letters is a much more productive length, with 107 matches; the 14-letter clue is an outlier.

Other lengths confirm the scarcity: 44 three-letter words end in X, 67 have five letters, and 95 have six. Even eight letters yields 102, so the 14-letter total of one stands far outside the usual range. Length alone is the clearest signal that this clue defeats guessing.

Why ADMINISTRATRIX stands out among 14-letter words ending in X

ADMINISTRATRIX is both the sole answer and the highest scorer for this ending, at 24 points. That makes it a memorable candidate when your rack and board fit, but its length is the catch: a correct word still needs enough open spaces to place all fourteen letters.

Treat this as a precision clue, not a broad word-finding strategy. The entry is absent from the common-word group, despite appearing in ENABLE, Collins, and NWL2023. Check your game's dictionary before relying on it, especially when your game uses a different word list.
