The fixed pattern is _E_A___: E sits in position two and A in position four. Familiar matches include BECAUSE, RELATED and DETAILS, while REMAINS and DECADES show how often the pattern appears in everyday forms. The 428 entries span different opening and final letters, so use any known end letters to narrow your choices.

What stands out in this letter pattern?

Exactly 428 tournament-dictionary words match the E-second, A-fourth pattern.
Only 35 matches count as common words, so many answers will be unfamiliar.
Collins includes 416 matches, compared with 345 in NWL2023 and 325 in ENABLE.
R is the most frequent opening letter, starting 109 matches.
S is the most frequent ending letter, closing 175 matches.

Which letters start and end these words most often?

R leads the opening-letter spread with 109 matches, followed by D at 74 and B at 49; M contributes 38. R is the clearest first-letter guess when the clue leaves the opening open, but the next choice trails by 35.

At the far end, S closes 175 words, while D ends 67 and E ends 40. The S ending dominates, so test a final S before assuming a less common finish. DETAILS, REMAINS and REGARDS show the pattern in recognizable forms.

How does this pattern compare with nearby clues?

This is a relatively crowded E-based pattern: changing the fourth letter to T raises the count to 500, while keeping A fourth and changing the second letter to A gives 440. A small shift in either fixed position changes the size of the candidate pool.

For solving, start with the known letters, then use likely endings to sort candidates. The S-heavy finish makes words such as DETAILS and REMAINS worth checking early; a final D points toward examples such as RELATED or DEBATED. These examples share the fixed E and A positions.

Where do the highest scores come from?

For 7-letter words with E as the 2nd letter and A as the 4th letter, dictionary coverage differs: Collins has 416, NWL2023 has 345, and ENABLE has 325. The overall 428 count combines tournament lists, so an entry is not guaranteed to work in every game.

Only 35 entries fall within the common-word group, although 354 have definitions. In rack games, JEZAILS leads at 23 points and HEXARCH scores 22; treat those as bonus targets rather than familiar clue answers. Check your game's word list before playing an unfamiliar form.

Questions people ask

Which letter appears most often at the start of these words?

R starts the most matches, appearing at the beginning of 109 words. D is next with 74, followed by B with 49. If the first letter is unknown, R is the strongest opening-letter guess based on this pattern's distribution.
