The pattern is _A_A___: both fixed positions hold A, while the other five letters can vary. Familiar matches include MANAGER, BALANCE, and MANAGED, but only 32 entries rank among the most frequent English words. The full set stretches well beyond everyday vocabulary, so your game’s dictionary matters when a candidate looks unfamiliar.

The pattern at a glance

MANAGER, BALANCE, MANAGED, and CAPABLE show the fixed A-A spacing in familiar words.
440 entries qualify in at least one tournament list; Collins includes 426, compared with 316 in NWL2023 and 277 in ENABLE.
32 entries rank among the 25,000 most frequent English words, so most matches are less familiar.
P leads first letters with 62 words; C follows with 58 and M with 45.
S ends 168 entries, while A and E each end 48.

Which letters and endings are most common?

P, C, and M together account for the most frequent starting letters in this group: 62, 58, and 45 words respectively. Try MANAGER or CATALOG when those opening letters fit your rack; both preserve the A-A pattern without requiring a rare first letter.

The final S is the standout ending, appearing in 168 words. Endings in A and E tie at 48 each, while N occurs 31 times. Plurals contribute to that S-heavy profile, as seen in DAMAGES, MANAGES, and BANANAS.

What stands out among 7-letter words with A second and A fourth?

PALAZZO and PALAZZI top the scoring list at 27 points apiece, far above the group’s 12.2-point average. Their Zs make them strong rack-scoring candidates, but the most familiar pattern matches are not necessarily the biggest scorers: MANAGER and BALANCE are easier to recognize.

Dictionary coverage differs: 426 matches appear in Collins, but only 316 appear in NWL2023. The broad total is not a promise that every game accepts every word; check your game’s word list before playing an obscure entry. For a more direct comparison, the A-in-second, T-in-fourth pattern has 550 matches.
