The pattern locks in two positions: A opens each word, and E sits just before the final letter. That leaves four letters to solve around those anchors. The mix ranges from everyday forms such as APPLIED and ADVISED to less familiar entries, so use the endings and game dictionary to narrow a clue.

7-letter words with A first and E sixth at a glance

There are 411 matches across the tournament dictionaries counted here.
47 matches rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency.
The most common final letter is S, with 179 words.
A final D appears in 125 matches, including ALLOWED, APPLIED, and ARRIVED.
AFFIXED and AGRYZED lead the scoring list at 21 points each.

Which letters most often finish this pattern?

S and D dominate the endings: 179 matches finish in S, while 125 finish in D. That makes plural or verb-form endings especially worth testing when the final tile is unknown. Examples include APPLIES for S and ADOPTED for D.

The remaining endings thin out quickly. R appears 70 times and N 15 times; only 7 matches end in E. A final X occurs in 3 words, while just 2 finish in A.

If your crossing letters point to a rare ending, check it against your game's dictionary rather than assuming the pattern is impossible.

How to use these seven-letter matches in word games

AFFIXED scores 21 points, tied with AGRYZED; AFFIXES, AFFIXER, AGRYZES, and AZYGIES each score 20. AQUifer is not the spelling here: AQUifer is seven letters, but the matching word is AQUifer? Check the fixed pattern carefully: AQUifer has E in the sixth position, so AQUifer qualifies and scores 19.

The whole set is not universal across games: 403 entries appear in Collins, compared with 304 in NWL2023. For a reliable board play, confirm the word in your game's list; a strong tile score does not guarantee acceptance in every dictionary.

Questions people ask

How many 7-letter words start with A and have E sixth?

There are 411 tournament-dictionary matches with A first and E sixth. Familiar examples include ANOTHER, ASSUMED, and AVOIDED, though only 47 of the matches rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency.

What letters most often end these A-and-E words?

S and D are the most frequent final letters, with 179 and 125 matches respectively. Examples include APPLIES and ARRIVED. R is next at 70, while only 7 words end in E, making the final letter a strong clue.

Which matching word has the highest score?

AFFIXED and AGRYZED share the top score at 21 points each. AFFIXES, AFFIXER, AGRYZES, and AZYGIES follow at 20 points. Check the game dictionary before playing an unusual scorer, since Collins and NWL2023 do not contain the same number of matches.
