This pattern fixes two of the seven tiles, but leaves plenty of room for different word shapes. Familiar choices such as CAPTAIN and FANTASY sit alongside rarer entries. Only 49 matches rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency, so expect the full set to include many words you rarely play.

What stands out in this A-A pattern?

The pattern has 571 matches across ENABLE, Collins, and NWL2023.
CAPTAIN, FANTASY, PACKAGE, and PASSAGE are familiar examples.
C leads the list with 77 words; M and P follow with 57 and 54.
A final S is most common, appearing in 223 matches; E is next with 113.

Which letters start and end these words?

C is the strongest opening letter, with words such as CAPTAIN, CABBAGE, and CASCADE. M, P, and S also appear often at the start, making those letters good places to test when your first tile is unknown.

The endings lean heavily toward S or E: 223 words end in S, while 113 end in E. Examples include MAMMALS and SAUSAGE. Only 54 matches finish with A, so that ending is much less common than the leading two.

How to use 7-letter words with A in positions 2 and 5

For a rack puzzle, lock in the two A tiles first, then use the starting and ending patterns to narrow your search. A repeated final S is a useful clue, but do not assume every match is a familiar everyday word: just 49 qualify as common by frequency.

For a score-focused play, PAZZAZZ tops the scoring results at 45 points. That outlier is far removed from the average score of 11.9, so prioritize its letter mix only when your rack and board support it. The 571-word total combines tournament dictionaries; a match in one list is not guaranteed to appear in every game's dictionary.

Questions people ask

How many 7-letter words have A in the second and fifth positions?

There are 571 matches for this pattern. CAPTAIN, PACKAGE, and FANTASY are recognizable examples, while the full set also includes less familiar words. The count combines entries found in at least one of ENABLE, Collins, or NWL2023.

Which starting letter is most common in this pattern?

C is the most common first letter, with 77 matches. M comes next with 57, followed by P with 54. CAPTAIN and CABBAGE show the C opening, while PACKAGE is one example beginning with P.

What is the highest-scoring word with A in both positions?

PAZZAZZ is the top scorer at 45 points. MAZZARD and HAZZANS follow at 28, so the leader stands well above the rest of the top scoring examples. Actual board premiums can change a play's final total.
