7-letter words with A as the 2nd letter and K as the 5th letter

These matches are tightly constrained, but their endings are not: 22 finish in S, while only one finishes in K. The set mixes familiar forms such as KAYAKER and CAULKED with less everyday entries including PACZKIS and LASHKAR. The 57 distinct words appear in at least one of Collins, NWL2023, or ENABLE; each dictionary accepts a different number of them, so your game's word list matters.

At a glance: the A-and-K pattern

• 57 tournament-dictionary words fit this seven-letter pattern.
• PACZKIS leads the scores at 24 points; JANSKYS follows at 21.
• 22 matches end in S, compared with 11 ending in N and 7 ending in D.
• Only one match is common by frequency; most are specialized terms or word forms.

7-letter words with A as the 2nd letter and K as the 5th letter

The fifth-letter K narrows the pool sharply: this pattern has 57 matches, far fewer than the neighboring I pattern, which has 1,363. That contrast makes the fifth slot the stronger filter when you are solving a fixed-position clue.

Starting letters split the remaining options. K leads with 10 words, while B and M each begin 7; C, H, and P contribute 5 apiece. Lock both known positions before testing a first letter, since a starting-letter guess alone leaves plenty of candidates.

Which matches score highest?

PACZKIS tops the scores at 24 points, followed by JANSKYS at 21 and JAMOKES at 20. KAYAKED earns 19, while BANGKOK and KAYAKER each score 18. The average score across the pattern is 15.2, so the top entries stand well above the typical match.

Those totals reflect unusual letter combinations, not everyday familiarity: PACZKIS and JANSKYS will be unfamiliar in many casual games. For practical board play, keep KAYAKER, CAULKED, and BAULKED in mind. Check the active game's dictionary, since Collins, NWL2023, and ENABLE do not accept identical sets.
