The pattern is __A__A_: the third and sixth tiles are fixed, while the other five positions remain open. COASTAL, GRAMMAR, and DIAGRAM show how different the surrounding letters can be. Just 13 entries count as common, so expect a mix of familiar words and specialist vocabulary rather than everyday guesses.
7-letter words with A as the 3rd and 6th letter at a glance
- 195 tournament-dictionary entries match the two A positions.
- Collins includes 188; NWL2023 includes 135.
- ENABLE includes 111, and 151 entries have definitions.
- C begins 37 words, ahead of S at 25 and A at 23.
- S ends 73 matches; L and N each end 33.
Which words stand out in this pattern?
COASTAL, SPATIAL, and GLACIAL put familiar consonant clusters around the fixed As; GRAMMAR adds a repeated M in the middle. C leads the opening-letter count with 37 matches, while S has 25 and A has 23. That makes C a useful first scan when your clue gives no starting letter.
Still, 37 of 195 is a modest share, not a majority.
The final letter is less balanced: S closes 73 entries, while L and N each close 33. TRAUMAS and STANZAS illustrate the S-ending group; ROADWAY and HEADWAY are examples ending in Y, which appears only 7 times. Many S endings are plurals, but the pattern includes other forms too.
S endings outnumber Y endings by more than two to one.
How do scores and dictionary coverage differ?
Scoring swings toward unusual letters. CHAZZAN leads at 30 points, followed by PIAZZAS at 27 and CZAPKAS at 24; KWANZAS earns 23. Z and the doubled Z in some entries help explain their high totals, while familiar COASTAL is not among the score leaders.
KHANJAR, WOADWAX, and JHATKAS each score 21, showing that the top scorers are not all Z words.
Treat the count as a pattern-solving pool, not a promise that every entry fits your game's dictionary: Collins covers 188, but NWL2023 covers 135. The 13 common entries are a small slice of 195, so check an unfamiliar word before committing it to a competitive board.
