What kinds of words fit this letter pattern?

Many entries end in familiar-looking vowel-heavy forms: EMPORIA, ENCOMIA, and EUGLENA all satisfy the same E-to-A frame. Other matches, including ECHIDNA and EXOTICA, have a more recognizable shape, but none is classified as common by our frequency measure.

The narrow count stands out beside nearby endings. With E fixed at the start, 373 seven-letter words end in S and 207 end in E, while just 35 end in A. Treat the final A as a strong filter, then check the middle letters before settling on an answer.

Which matches score well in word games?

EXEMPLA, ECTOZOA, and EXHEDRA each score 18 points; ECTHYMA and ENDOZOA follow at 17. EXOTICA, EXCRETA, EXTREMA, EMPYEMA, and ENTOZOA each score 16, so the unusual letter combinations often matter more than how familiar a word sounds.
