The pattern leaves five positions open: _ _ A _ _ _ E. Familiar matches include EXAMPLE, IMAGINE, FEATURE, and MEASURE, but most entries are less common. Only 23 matches rank among common English words, so a familiar-looking pattern does not guarantee an everyday answer.

At a glance for the A–E pattern

  • There are 305 tournament-dictionary matches with A in position three and E in position seven.
  • Every match ends in E; the final letter is fixed across all 305 entries.
  • Only 23 matches fall within the top 25,000 English words by frequency.
  • FRAZZLE and SWAZZLE tie for the top score at 28 points each.

Which examples make the pattern easy to spot?

EXAMPLE, IMAGINE, REALIZE, FEATURE, and MEASURE all fit the seven-letter frame. Their shared A sits in the middle, while the final E stays fixed; the opening letters and interior consonants do the work of distinguishing one candidate from another.

S is the most frequent starting letter, with 65 matches. C follows with 34, then A with 26. That gap makes an S-start a strong first branch to check when the opening letter is still unknown.

7-letter words with A 3rd and E 7th for word games

The dictionary totals overlap: Collins includes 296 matches, NWL2023 has 215, and ENABLE has 195, while the combined set contains 305. Those totals are not additive. Only 215 matches are defined, and the 23 common entries offer a smaller, more familiar pool.

Check your game's word list before playing a less familiar match. The average match scores 11.6 points, so FRAZZLE and SWAZZLE at 28 each are more than double the typical word.

For a score-focused choice, FRAZZLE and SWAZZLE each reach 28 points. KYANIZE and OXAZINE score 23 apiece, while QUACKLE reaches 22. These standouts trade everyday familiarity for high-value letters, so they suit a scoring hunt better than a search for common vocabulary.

Questions people ask

How many 7-letter words have A as the third letter and E as the last?
There are 305 matches across the tournament dictionaries. Each has A in position three and E in position seven, but the opening letters and the three intervening letters vary. EXAMPLE and FEATURE are familiar examples of the pattern.
Which A-third, E-last word scores the most?
FRAZZLE and SWAZZLE tie at 28 points each in the scores. Both fit the seven-letter pattern, but their unusual letter combinations make them much less familiar than examples such as IMAGINE or MEASURE.
Why do the Collins and NWL2023 counts not add up to 305?
The dictionary counts overlap because a word can appear in more than one list. Collins has 296 matches and NWL2023 has 215, while the combined total is 305. ENABLE contributes another overlapping set, so adding the individual counts would count some words more than once.
