The fixed letters leave five slots open, but the endings are far from evenly spread: S, Y, and E lead by a wide margin. Familiar examples include CAPABLE, VANILLA, and PAYROLL; the strongest Scrabble scorer is a much less ordinary choice. Dictionary coverage also varies, so a match in one word list is not automatically accepted in every game.

Pattern facts at a glance

383 entries match the seven-letter pattern, with A second and L sixth.
Collins includes 372 matches; NWL2023 includes 293, and ENABLE includes 268.
Only 27 matches rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency.
CAPABLE, LARGELY, RAPIDLY, and HAPPILY are recognizable examples.
JAZZILY leads the scoring list at 35 points, ahead of JAYWALK at 24.

Which endings occur most often?

S is the most common final letter, with 121 matches; Y follows with 101, then E with 75. Together, those endings account for 297 of the 383 words. Try them first when you have not solved the last tile, especially if the rest of your rack suggests a plural or an adverb.

The next endings are A with 44 and L with 20. A sixth-position L does not require the word to end in L: VANILLA, PAYROLL, and CAPSULE all finish differently. At the front, C opens the most matches with 49, ahead of P with 35.

What are the best scoring matches?

JAZZILY scores 35 points before board bonuses, making it the clear standout. JAYWALK scores 24, while QAWWALI and QAWWALS each score 22. Those less familiar spellings can be tempting when you hold a J, Q, or Z, but check your game's word list before playing them.

The score leader is not the safest everyday guess: only 27 entries are common by the frequency cutoff, and many matches are less familiar. For a more recognizable play, CAPABLE, PAYABLE, or SANDALS fit the pattern. The exact letter positions narrow the search, but they do not guarantee that every game dictionary accepts every candidate.

Questions people ask

How many 7-letter words have A second and L sixth?

There are 383 matches for this pattern. The count includes words listed in at least one tournament dictionary, rather than every possible spelling. Coverage differs by lexicon: Collins includes 372, NWL2023 includes 293, and ENABLE includes 268.

What is the highest-scoring word in this pattern?

JAZZILY is the highest scorer at 35 points before board bonuses. JAYWALK is next at 24, followed by QAWWALI and QAWWALS at 22 each. Check your game's dictionary before relying on an unusual high-value word.

S is the leading ending, with 121 matches, followed by Y with 101 and E with 75. Those three final letters cover 297 of the 383 matches. A comes next with 44, so testing S, Y, or E first gives you the broadest starting set.
