The fixed pattern is _A__E__: A sits in the second slot and E in the fifth. Familiar matches include happens, largest, eastern, patient, and payment. There are 849 entries across the tournament dictionaries, but only 83 rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency. Expect a mix of everyday forms and specialist vocabulary.

At a glance: the A-and-E pattern

The seven-letter pattern is _A__E__, with three unknown letters between A and E.
There are 849 matching words across the listed tournament dictionaries.
Only 83 matches are common by our word-frequency measure.
A total of 559 matches end in S; 122 end in T.
JAZZERS leads the high scorers at 32 Scrabble points.

Which words fit the _AE pattern?

Start with recognizable examples: happens, matters, pattern, battery, gallery, and targets all place A second and E fifth. Payment and largest fit too, though their endings differ from the dominant S ending.

Word endings narrow the search quickly. Of the 849 matches, 559 finish with S, while 122 finish with T; Y is next with 48. If your final tile is fixed, test S and T before trying less frequent endings.

What should you watch for in a word game?

JAZZERS is the standout score at 32 points, far above the average score of 11.2. JACKETS and JACKERS each score 20, while JAMBEUX reaches 25. These are tile-value scores; board multipliers can change the points you actually earn.

The main limitation is familiarity: just 83 of the 849 entries meet our common-word cutoff. Collins includes 827 matches, compared with 645 in NWL2023 and 591 in ENABLE, so check your game's dictionary before playing an unusual form.

Questions people ask

How many seven-letter words have A second and E fifth?

There are 849 matching seven-letter words across the tournament dictionaries. The fixed pattern is _A__E__, and examples include happens, largest, eastern, and payment. Only 83 matches count as common by our frequency measure, so many entries are less familiar.

What is the highest-scoring word in this pattern?

JAZZERS is the highest scorer at 32 Scrabble points. JAMBEUX follows at 25, while CACHEXY scores 24. Those are tile-value totals before any board multipliers, so the square placement still matters during a game.

Which ending is most common for these words?

S is the most common final letter, appearing in 559 of the 849 matches. T is a distant second with 122, followed by Y with 48. That makes an S ending a strong first check when your pattern leaves the final position open.
