The pattern is _A_N___, so the second and fourth positions are fixed while five slots remain open. Familiar examples include WARNING, PAINTED, PAINFUL, EARNING, and RAINBOW. Just 29 of the 246 matches fall in the common-word group, so recognizable everyday choices are a small slice. The most frequent ending, S, appears on 94 entries.

At a glance: the _A_N___ pattern

  • The pattern matches 246 seven-letter words in tournament dictionaries.
  • P and T lead as first letters, with 24 matches each; C follows at 22.
  • S is the most frequent final letter: 94 words end in S.
  • The A-second, T-fourth pattern has 550 matches, compared with 246 when N is fourth.

7-letter words with A as the 2nd letter and N as the 4th letter

S dominates the endings: 94 words finish with that letter. G follows at 31, then E at 23, R at 22, and D at 21. When your clue gives the final letter, start with S; G and E are the next places to check.

Examples show how the pattern branches: PAINTED and PAINTER begin with P, while CANNONS ends with the dominant S. A useful comparison is the A-second, T-fourth set, which has 550 matches. Changing the length instead leaves 177 six-letter matches or 86 five-letter matches with A second and N fourth.
