What stands out in this pattern

  • 88 words start with E and place E in slot four.
  • EFFECTS, ENTERED, EMPEROR and ESSENCE show varied starts.
  • S ends 31 matches; E ends 11, while C and D end eight each.
  • ECZEMAS scores 20 and EQUERRY scores 19.

Examples and dictionary coverage

Thirteen entries are classed as common, and the average tile score is 11.8. The ending S is often part of a verb or plural form, as in EXPECTS, EXCEEDS and EXTENTS; do not assume every final S serves the same grammatical job. EXCERPT provides a singular alternative.

The neighboring lengths have 68 five-letter and 79 six-letter matches, compared with 88 at seven letters. This family grows gradually rather than jumping sharply, and each extra tile allows more complex E-first forms such as EXPECTS and EXCERPT.

Collins covers 86 matches, while NWL2023 covers 62 and ENABLE 57. Thirteen common entries give this group a stronger everyday core than several related patterns, though the 66 defined words show that plenty of choices remain specialized. Check the game list for an unfamiliar candidate.

A busy S ending includes several different forms: EXPECTS, EXCEEDS and EXTENTS do not share one grammatical pattern. The fixed E at position four is the reliable anchor. Reading only the last letter as a plural clue would rule out valid candidates and misread several familiar entries.

7-letter words starting with E and with E as the 4th letter: EXPECTS and EXCERPT look alike at first glance but differ in ending and score.
