The pattern is _A____T, which keeps the clue precise while leaving five letters open. Familiar matches include largest, patient, payment, cabinet, and harvest; the full set also reaches into less common tournament vocabulary. Only 41 entries fall within the 25,000 most frequent English words, so recognize a clue before assuming every fit is familiar.
7-letter words with A as the 2nd letter and T as the 7th letter
- 308 entries match the fixed pattern _A____T.
- Only 41 rank among the 25,000 most frequent English words.
- JACKPOT leads the Scrabble scores at 22 points; KAJEPUT follows at 20.
- Collins counts 293, NWL2023 counts 232, and ENABLE counts 196; these lists overlap.
- C and H tie for the most common first letter, with 30 matches each.
Which matches score highest in Scrabble?
JACKPOT scores 22 points, the top score; its J and K carry the total, while the final T is already fixed by the clue. KAJEPUT reaches 20, and HAZIEST and HAWKBIT each score 19. BANQUET, RACQUET, PARQUET, BACKFAT, BACKFIT, and HACKBUT each score 18.
For recognition rather than points, largest, patient, payment, cabinet, and fastest are familiar fits. Every dictionary has its own boundary: Collins has 293 matches, against 232 in NWL2023, so an unfamiliar fit is not automatically playable in every game. Check your game's word list before committing.
The ending sharply narrows the search: the same A-second pattern ending in S has 2,136 matches, versus 308 ending in T. Even the O-second, T-last pattern has 280. Start with the fixed final letter, then sort the remaining group by familiar words or score.
Several familiar matches are superlative adjectives: fastest, hardest, and easiest. Their shared ending supplies a useful word family to test when the clue suggests a comparison.
How can you narrow the pattern quickly?
Keep the blanks in view: payment and habitat both fit _A____T, while their first letters differ. A first-letter-only scan misses many valid candidates.
- Write the frame as _A____T and reserve the last tile for T; the clue fixes that position, not the word's first letter.
- Try C- and H-initial candidates early, since both lead at 30 each; then check B, which contributes 29.
- Use patient, payment, cabinet, or harvest as recognition anchors before reaching for jackpot or kajeput solely for score.
