Five letters open every word in the set: S 88, A 45, E 36, O 30 and U just 4. AP- and SP- carry most of the list, from apprenticeship and appropriations to specifications and spatiotemporal. S closes 113 words and Y 22, and only 4 entries count as everyday English.

Fourteen-letter P-second words at a glance

203 fourteen-letter words put P in second place.
Just five letters open them: S, A, E, O and U.
S opens 88, A 45, E 36, O 30 and U 4.
113 end in S and 22 in Y.
Only 4 entries count as everyday words.
Sphygmographic leads the scores at 33.

Only five opening letters ever appear

Every word in this set begins with a vowel or with S. No other consonant can stand before a P in second position, so the first tile is a vowel more often than not and the list runs on AP-, EP-, OP- and UP- as much as SP-.

The U group is the thinnest part at just 4 words, so UP- barely turns up at fourteen letters. S is the only consonant that manages the pairing, through 88 SP- words such as specifications and spectrographic.

That shape gives a usable filter. When a 14-letter answer has P in second place, guess the opening vowel before anything else, then look for the suffix that follows.

The AP- and SP- blocks cover most of the list

SP- covers 88 words, led by specifications and specialization.
AP- adds 45, including apprenticeship and appropriations.
EP- brings 36, among them epidemiologist and epistemologies.
OP- reaches 30 with optimistically and optoelectronic.
UP- appears in only 4 words.

Tip

Sphygmographic heads the scores at 33, then apothegmatized on 32 and ophthalmoscopy, epigrammatized, apostrophizing and apothegmatizes on 31. The PH and PT pairs in those Greek roots push them well above the 22.3 average.

Questions people ask

How many 14-letter words have P as the 2nd letter?

There are 203 of them. Only five letters ever start one: S at 88, A at 45, E at 36, O at 30 and U at 4. Collins carries 196 of the 203 and NWL2023 114.

Which letters can start a 14-letter P-second word?

Sphygmographic reaches 33 points. Apothegmatized scores 32, and ophthalmoscopy, epigrammatized, apostrophizing and apothegmatizes all tie on 31, each built on the Greek PH or PT pair.
