This pattern fixes the shape as _A_Z___, so the middle Z does much of the identifying work. The collection is unusually tilted toward rare vocabulary: none of the 46 entries falls in the common-word band. Still, WARZONE and CALZONE are recognizable, while the strongest plays lean hard on J and Z.
A-Z pattern at a glance
- 46 tournament-dictionary entries match _A_Z___.
- Collins lists 43, NWL2023 lists 39, and ENABLE lists 30.

- PAZZAZZ scores 45, the highest score in the set.
Which A-Z words score most?
PAZZAZZ leads the scoring table at 45, with JAZZILY at 35; JAZZMAN, JAZZMEN, and JAZZBOS each score 34. The practical surprise is how often J and Z cluster in these words. When your rack holds both high-value letters, check the fixed slots before spending a blank.
WARZONE and CALZONE are familiar examples, while FANZINE and PANZERS show how much the remaining letters can change. DAZZLED, DAZZLES, and DAZZLER share the same opening frame, so a known ending can separate a verb form from a person noun. These examples are a fast starting point, not a complete substitute for checking every fit.
