That fixed pattern leaves a varied set: JACKPOT is familiar, while CALIPER, HAIRPIN, and PARAPET show how much the surrounding letters can change. Only one match is common by English-frequency ranking, so expect more specialist vocabulary than everyday guesses. Collins includes all 49 matches; NWL2023 lists 37, and ENABLE lists 35.

At a glance: a compact pattern with one standout

  • The pattern has 49 seven-letter matches, with A second and P fifth.
  • JACKPOT leads the Scrabble score list at 22 points.
  • CALYPSO, HAIRPIN, PARAPET, and CALIPER are recognizable examples.
  • Collins lists 49 matches, compared with 37 in NWL2023 and 35 in ENABLE.
  • Only one match ranks as common by English frequency.

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

Thirteen matches start with C, the largest opening-letter group; P comes next with five. J, K, and T each begin four words. C is a strong first-letter anchor, but the pattern still branches into very different words: JACKPOT, CALYPSO, and HAIRPIN all fit.

At the other end, S and T tie at 12 words apiece, while N closes seven. Together, S and T account for 24 of the 49 matches, nearly half. When a crossing gives you the final letter, try those two endings first; the rest of the endings are less frequent.

Which matches score highest, and what should you watch for?

JACKPOT tops the Scrabble list at 22 points, followed by JALOPPY at 21. BACKPAY and KAJEPUT each score 20. The average score is 13.4, so the leader stands out; still, a lower-scoring word can fit a board better when its letters connect to open squares.

Dictionary choice and everyday familiarity are the limits here: Collins has 49 entries, NWL2023 has 37, ENABLE has 35, and just one match is common. Many options are specialist vocabulary rather than words you are likely to guess cold. Check your game's word list before playing an unfamiliar entry.

For 7-letter words with A as the 2nd letter and P as the 5th letter, crossings can matter more than memorizing the whole set.
