The pattern is _A____R: A follows the first letter, and R closes the word. Familiar matches include manager, partner, carrier, and painter, but many entries are less common. Just 22 matches rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency, so everyday vocabulary covers only a small slice of the full set.

A-second, R-last words at a glance

  • There are 385 seven-letter matches across the tournament dictionaries counted here.
  • Manager, partner, and carrier are recognizable examples with A second and R last.
  • M starts 41 matches; P starts 33, and C starts 32.
  • Only 22 matches are common by frequency, while 287 have definitions.

Which words fit the A-second, R-last pattern?

Start with the familiar cluster: earlier, manager, partner, carrier, and warrior all fit _A____R. Painter, hamster, and janitor show how varied the endings can be before the fixed final R. The first letter gives you a practical way to narrow the 385 choices: M is the most frequent opening, followed by P and C.

The 22 common words are a small minority of the 385 matches, even though 287 have definitions. That gap matters in a puzzle: a pattern match is not automatically an everyday word. For a fast first pass, try familiar examples such as manager or partner before scanning less familiar entries.

Which A-second, R-last words score highly?

Jazzier leads the Scrabble scores at 32 points, followed by dazzler at 26. Machzor and janizar each score 23, while zappier reaches 20. The average score across these matches is 11.1, so the big totals come from a handful of high-value letters rather than the typical word.

The 385-word total combines entries found in at least one tournament dictionary; individual lists differ. Collins has 374 matches, NWL2023 has 306, and ENABLE has 275. Don’t assume every entry works in every game: check your game’s word list before playing an unfamiliar form.

A quick way to search the pattern

Tip

Lock in A at position two and R at the end, then sort by the first letter. M gives the largest starting group, with 41 matches.
