The second-position S list is compact beside its same-length neighbors: 14-letter words with E there number 1,611, while this pattern has 138. Most entries begin with P or A, and just one qualifies as common by the frequency cutoff. Expect specialist vocabulary, not a stack of everyday plays.

At a glance: the shape of this word set

There are 138 tournament-dictionary words with S in position two.
P leads the first-letter group with 63 words; A follows with 31.
Only one entry falls within the top 25,000 English words by frequency.
Establishments, psychoanalysis, and assassinations show the range of familiar-looking forms.

Why do so many entries start with P?

Psychoanalysis, psychoanalytic, psychoanalysts, and psychodynamics show how productive the PS opening is at this length. The first-letter counts make the pattern clear: P accounts for 63 entries, compared with 31 beginning with A and 16 with I.

The vocabulary is specialized, but not uniformly obscure. Establishments and assassinations are recognizable plurals; osteoarthritis and astrophysicist belong to technical fields. That mix explains why a pattern search can return many dictionary words while only one lands in the common-frequency group.

Endings tighten the picture further. S closes 69 of the 138 entries, and Y closes 24, so a final-S clue fits half the list before you even look at the first letter. The pattern also thins as words grow: 13-letter words with S second number 209 and 15-letter ones just 88.

Which 14-letter words with S as the 2nd letter score highest?

Psychoanalyzed leads the scores at 37 points; psychoanalyzes and psychoanalyzer each score 36.
Psychologizing and isocarboxazids are next at 35, while psychophysical scores 34.
Long technical terms can carry valuable letters, but their length makes them awkward to fit on a crowded board.
The dictionaries differ: Collins includes 135 matches, NWL2023 has 91, and ENABLE has 80. Check your game's word list before playing.

Questions people ask

What are some 14-letter words with S as the second letter?

Examples include establishments, psychoanalysis, assassinations, osteoarthritis, and astrophysicist. Each has fourteen letters with S in the second position. The full set contains 138 entries, though many are technical or uncommon rather than everyday vocabulary.

What is the highest-scoring word in this group?

Psychoanalyzed has the highest score, at 37 points. Psychoanalyzes and psychoanalyzer follow at 36 each. These values make the P-starting psycho- forms stand out, although a word's actual board value also depends on letter and word squares.

Are all 138 words accepted in every word game?

No. The dictionary counts differ: Collins lists 135 matches, NWL2023 lists 91, and ENABLE lists 80. Those figures overlap rather than forming separate groups, so a word accepted under one list may not be accepted under another.
