The fixed pattern is A _ _ N _ _ _, which narrows the search to 88 tournament-dictionary entries. Only 5 rank among common English words, so expect plenty of specialist vocabulary alongside recognizable options such as ABANDON, AMENDED, and AGENDAS. The pattern is also selective by dictionary: Collins has more matches than either NWL2023 or ENABLE.

7-letter words with A as the 1st letter and N as the 4th letter

  • The fixed A _ _ N _ _ _ pattern matches 88 tournament-dictionary words.
  • Only 5 matches fall within the common-word group.
  • AGONIZE, AGENIZE, and ADONIZE each score 17 in Scrabble.
  • A total of 63 entries have definitions.
  • Final S is most frequent, with 25 words; final E follows with 21.

Which pattern matches score highest in Scrabble?

AGONIZE, AGENIZE, and ADONIZE share the top score: 17 points each. The trio gives you a quick shortlist when your rack or board position supports a seven-letter play, but check the word against your game's dictionary before committing.

AXONEME, ACKNOWN, and ACKNOWS score 16 apiece, just below the leaders. Several other entries reach 14, including AXINITE and AHUNGRY. The unusual spellings among the top scorers make a dictionary check more important than relying on familiarity.

The broader pool averages 9.9 points. Treat that as a rough comparison, not a promise for a particular turn: premium squares and any other board bonuses change the result.

How do these A-and-N words end?

S and E dominate the endings: 25 words finish in S and 21 finish in E. That makes a plural-looking ending more common than any other choice, while E is a close second. ABANDON and AMENDED show that the pattern also produces familiar words with different endings.

For 7-letter words with A as the 1st letter and N as the 4th letter, dictionary coverage is a real constraint: Collins lists 85 matches, NWL2023 lists 62, and ENABLE lists 55. The overall 88-word count includes entries found in at least one of those tournament lists, not every list.

Questions people ask
