7-letter words with A as the 1st letter and P as the 2nd letter

That fixed AP opening leaves 106 seven-letter matches, but the dictionaries do not share every entry. Collins includes all 106, compared with 85 in NWL2023 and 81 in ENABLE. Familiar choices such as APPEARS and APPLIED sit alongside less common forms, so the opening letters alone do not tell you which game will accept a word.

How many words start with AP?

There are 106 tournament-dictionary matches. That total combines entries from Collins, NWL2023, and ENABLE; it does not mean every game accepts every word. Collins covers the full set, while NWL2023 includes 85 and ENABLE includes 81.

Check your game's word list before playing an unfamiliar form.

APPEARS, APPLIES, and APPEALS show how naturally the opening pairs with common word endings. APRICOT and APOSTLE are recognizable nouns, too, but only 11 entries in the group are marked common. Expect a solver to return specialist vocabulary alongside words you already know.

The same A-P opening has 40 five-letter matches and 52 six-letter matches. The seven-letter group is larger than either of those neighboring lengths, making a length clue a useful way to narrow the results.

Which AP words end in S or score well?

S is the leading final letter: 32 of the 106 matches end in S, while E comes next with 14. APPEARS, APPLIES, and APPEALS illustrate that common ending, but APROPOS, APACHES, and APPENDS show how varied the vocabulary can be.

For tile points, APPRIZE and APOZEMS lead at 20 each. APTERYX scores 19, while APOPLEX and APHYLLY score 18 apiece. Those high values come with a catch: only 11 entries are marked common, so a top scorer is more likely to be an unfamiliar word than an everyday choice.
