The fixed pattern is _A_S___, so MASSIVE, PASSING, CAUSING, and PASSION all fit. The set is larger than the neighboring pattern with O in the second position, but its entries are not all everyday vocabulary. Check the opening and ending letters against your rack before reaching for an unfamiliar word.

At a glance: 7-letter words with A second and S fourth

The pattern _A_S___ has 282 tournament-dictionary matches.
P is the most common first letter, with 41 matches; C follows with 33.
S is the leading final letter, appearing at the end of 87 words.
JANSKYS scores 21 in the recorded Scrabble scoring; CAPSIZE scores 20.
Only 26 entries rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency.

Which words fit the A-and-S pattern?

Start with recognizable options: MASSIVE, PASSING, CAUSING, PASSION, RAISING, and PASSAGE all place A second and S fourth. LAWSUIT and MANSION also fit, giving you alternatives when a repeated P opening does not match your rack.

P leads the opening-letter count with 41 words, ahead of C at 33. For endings, S dominates with 87; R is next at 27. That makes an S-ending guess especially worth checking when the final tile is still unknown.

Frequency is a real limitation here: just 26 entries fall within the top 25,000 English words. The set includes familiar choices such as MASSAGE and SAUSAGE, but many matches are less familiar, so check your game's word list before playing one.

How do the scores compare with nearby patterns?

JANSKYS tops the recorded Scrabble scores at 21, with CAPSIZE close behind at 20. Those are less everyday choices than PASSION or MASSIVE, but the high values make them worth spotting when your rack supports the pattern.

The second-letter comparison is striking: the same fourth-letter S pattern has 337 matches with O second, versus 282 with A second. Keeping the fourth letter fixed while testing a different second letter can open a larger search, while changing S in the fourth position to T gives 550 matches.
