7-letter words with A as the 2nd letter and J as the 3rd letter

Lock in the pattern _AJ____ and the options narrow fast: just 22 tournament-dictionary words fit. Only two rank among the most common English words, so expect a mix of everyday terms and specialist vocabulary. Majesty and pajamas are easy to recognize; several other entries are less familiar and may not appear in every game's word list.

7-letter words with A as the 2nd letter and J as the 3rd letter

• There are 22 matching words across the tournament dictionaries counted here.
• Majesty and pajamas are the two common entries in the group.
• Nine matches end in S, making S the most frequent final letter.
• C starts seven matches, more than any other first letter.

Which endings and starting letters show up most?

S dominates the final position: nine words end that way, while five end in T. The S endings include pajamas, cajones, cajoles, and tajines, so a known final S gives you several different routes through the pattern.

The first letter is less spread out than it may seem. C leads with seven matches, and M follows with five; examples include cajoled, cajones, majored, and majorly. Those four familiar-looking choices make a useful first scan before you work through rarer entries.

Which matches score well, and where do lists differ?

For a score-first play, hajjahs is the standout at 27 points, followed by kajawah at 24. Majesty scores 19 and pajamas 18, so recognizable words still have solid tile value without relying on the highest-scoring, less familiar options.

The dictionary split is a real constraint: Collins includes all 22 matches, while NWL2023 includes 15 and ENABLE includes 14. Treat the smaller counts as a reminder to check your game's word list before committing to an unfamiliar form; a match to the letter pattern alone does not guarantee acceptance.

For a quick solve, fix A and J in their slots, then test C and M as opening letters and S or T at the end. That narrows the strongest clusters without overlooking majored or majesty, which end differently from most of the group.
