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

All 90 matches put A in slot two and K in slot seven, but their opening letters vary widely. C leads with 13 words, followed by H with 11, while just 6 entries are classified as common. The fixed pattern narrows the search, but many candidates are less familiar than HAMMOCK or PAYBACK. That split matters when a clue fixes both positions but leaves the first letter open.

At a glance: the A-then-K pattern

• 90 seven-letter entries match A in position two and K in position seven.
• Every match ends in K; the final letter does not divide this group further.
• C is the leading first letter, with 13 matches; H follows with 11.
• Only 6 matches are classified as common.
• The list has 67 defined entries; Collins includes 85, NWL2023 includes 56, and ENABLE includes 48.

How many 7-letter words with A as the 2nd letter and K as the 7th letter?

There are 90 tournament-dictionary matches: 85 appear in Collins, 56 in NWL2023, and 48 in ENABLE. Those source counts overlap, so adding them would overstate the total. The pooled count includes each qualifying word once, while the different dictionary totals show why acceptance can depend on the game you play.

Recognizable examples include HAMMOCK, PADDOCK, CATWALK, PAYBACK, and PADLOCK. Only 6 entries are classified as common, so plenty of matches are less familiar. CARRICK, HADD0CK, and BARRACK also show how varied the middle letters can be while A stays second and K stays last.

Which matches have the highest tile scores?

WAZZOCK leads the scores at 34 points, with ZAMBUCK at 26. WAXWORK, JAYWALK, and ZADDICK each score 24, while CARJACK reaches 22. Those high scorers contrast with familiar-looking CATWALK and HAMMOCK, which make the pattern easier to recognize but do not top the scoring list.

For a clue or rack search, lock in the final K first, then check the second position for A; the opening letter is the main remaining filter. C-starting matches form the largest group at 13, and H-starting words contribute 11. The 90-word total is not a promise that every game accepts every entry, so check your game's word list once before relying on an obscure match.
