Lock in the pattern _ A _ _ N _ _: the second tile is A, and the fifth is N. Familiar fits include parents, partner, balance, and cabinet, but only 23 of the 270 matches rank among common English words. The rest include specialist or less familiar vocabulary, so a tournament word list can be broader than your everyday vocabulary.

The pattern at a glance

There are 270 tournament-dictionary matches for the seven-letter pattern _A__N__.
A striking 148 matches end in S, including parents, savings, ratings, and talents.
L is the most frequent starting letter, with 34 matches; C follows with 29.
Only 23 matches are common English words, so expect unfamiliar entries among the rest.

Which words are familiar, and which are high scorers?

Start with recognizable options such as partner, balance, cabinet, marines, and patents. The heavy S ending is a useful clue: many matches are plurals or other forms ending in S, including parents and casinos. If your final letter is still open, test S early rather than assuming the pattern ends in a vowel.

For Scrabble scoring, hazanim leads this group at 21 points, followed by fazenda and hazings at 20 each. Hackney, cadenza, and jacinth score 19. Those point totals make the unusual words worth checking when your rack contains valuable letters; familiar words such as partner are easier to recognize, but not the top scorers.

How to use 7-letter words with A second and N fifth

Dictionary coverage varies: Collins includes 260 matches, NWL2023 includes 206, and ENABLE includes 178. The counts overlap, so they do not add up to the 270-word total. A word accepted in one list may not be accepted in another; check your game's word list before challenging or playing an unfamiliar entry.

Treat commonness as a filter, not a guarantee: only 23 matches are common, while the top scorer hazanim is a less familiar choice. First write the fixed pattern, then use the remaining letters and any known ending to narrow it. For nearby searches, compare the 6-letter version or keep A fixed while changing the fifth letter.

Questions people ask

How many seven-letter words have A second and N fifth?

There are 270 tournament-dictionary matches with A in the second position and N in the fifth. The pattern is _A__N__; familiar examples include parents, partner, balance, and cabinet. The count combines entries across the listed tournament dictionaries, which do not all contain the same words.

What is the highest-scoring word in this pattern?

Hazanim is the highest scorer at 21 points. Fazenda and hazings follow at 20 points each, while hackney, cadenza, and jacinth score 19. These are tile scores before any board-square bonuses, so a premium square can change the total in play.

What letter do most of these words end with?

S is the most common final letter, appearing in 148 of the 270 matches. Examples include parents, savings, ratings, and talents. If a clue leaves the last position unknown, trying S first is a sensible narrowing move, though the other endings account for the remaining words.
