The two A positions leave plenty of room for different word shapes: UNAWARE, PEASANT, PHARAOH, and BRAVADO all fit. There are 150 matches, but just seven fall in the site’s common-word frequency group. Final E and S are close, which makes the last tile a less decisive clue than the paired A positions.
Seven-letter words with A third and fifth
- 150 matches place A in both fixed positions.
- CHALAZA, CHAZANS, and QUAMASH score 21 points each.
- E ends 43 matches; S ends 39.
- S is the most common first letter, with 34 matches.
Which words make the pattern easy to spot?
UNAWARE, PEASANT, BLATANT, and ADAMANT are readable anchors for the frame. PHARAOH and PHALANX show how strongly the letters around the pair can change its sound. If you have the two As locked, use the opening consonants to narrow the search instead of assuming the word follows one familiar ending.
The first-letter count favors S with 34 matches, ahead of C at 17. That makes SEALANT, SEAWARD, SEAWALL, and SEAHAWK productive examples to scan when S is available. The list also includes NIAGARA, QUASARS, and GUARANI, so a fixed pair does not imply a single part of speech or theme.
The shared A positions are separated by one open tile, so scan the fourth slot before guessing the ending. A consonant there supports very different shapes, from UNAWARE to PHARAOH, despite the repeated vowel clue.
How should you read the endings and scores?
When E and S are both possible, keep both endings in view: their counts differ by only four matches, 43 to 39.
