The pattern fixes A in position three and E in position five, leaving five other tiles open. Matches range from familiar words such as PLAYERS and READERS to less everyday scorers such as CHAMETZ. One striking skew: 206 entries finish in S, far more than any other final letter.

7-letter words with A as the 3rd letter and E as the 5th letter

317 entries match the seven-tile pattern, with A third and E fifth.
206 end in S, making it the most frequent final letter by a wide margin.
58 begin with S; B follows at 29.
34 entries rank among the common words.
CHAMETZ and KHAZENS lead the Scrabble scores at 23 points.

Which familiar words fit this pattern?

PLAYERS, LEADERS, READERS, and TRADERS show how often a familiar plural shape appears among the S-ending matches. But the pattern is not just a collection of plurals: ACADEMY, AMATEUR, TRAGEDY, and PLATEAU offer different endings and word forms.

S leads the first-letter count with 58 matches, exactly twice B’s 29. C and D each begin 24 words, so an opening C or D still leaves a substantial set to test.

The nearest pattern changes the count sharply. Replacing the third-position A with R while keeping E fifth gives 468 matches; keeping A third but changing E to I gives 631. Fixed positions matter: changing either letter can reshape the search.

How should you use these words in a game?

For 7-letter words with A as the 3rd letter and E as the 5th letter, CHAMETZ and KHAZENS tie at 23 Scrabble points. QUAVERY scores 22, while QUAKERS and GHAZELS each score 20. The rare-looking high scorers are worth checking against your rack and board premiums.

Dictionary coverage is not identical: 307 matches appear in Collins, 266 in NWL2023, and 248 in ENABLE. Those totals overlap, and the combined set includes words accepted by at least one tournament dictionary. Check your game's word list before playing an unfamiliar choice such as KHAZENS.

Questions people ask

How many seven-letter words have A third and E fifth?

There are 317 seven-letter matches for this pattern. Each places A third and E fifth, while the first, second, fourth, sixth, and seventh letters vary. S is the most frequent final letter, appearing at the end of 206 matches.

What is the highest Scrabble score in this group?

CHAMETZ and KHAZENS tie for the highest Scrabble score at 23 points each. QUAVERY follows at 22. These unusual letter combinations can score well, but your rack and the board’s premium squares still determine the value of a play.

Are all these words accepted in every word game?

No. The combined set includes words found in at least one of Collins, NWL2023, or ENABLE; their individual totals are 307, 266, and 248. Those dictionary counts overlap, so a word accepted in one game may not be accepted in another. Check the word list used in your game.
