The fixed pattern looks like _ E _ _ A _ _. It leaves the first, third, fourth, sixth, and final letters open, so the list ranges from familiar words such as perhaps and replace to much rarer entries. Only 41 matches qualify as common words, making a known example a stronger starting point than a random guess.

How many 7-letter words have E second and A fifth?

There are 465 matches with E in position two and A in position five.
Only 41 matches meet the common-word frequency measure.
R starts 101 matches, more than any other first letter.
S is the most common final letter, with 156 words; E follows with 118.
BEZZAZZ leads the listed Scrabble scores at 45 points.

Which letters and examples stand out?

R has a clear lead at the start: 101 matches begin with it, while B is next at 60. That makes RE- a productive opening to test when your crossing letters allow it. Familiar examples include release, reveals, and refrain.

The endings tell a different story. S closes 156 words, more than twice as many as T, which ends 61. Message, perhaps, and defeats show how varied the final consonant can be; certain and release show that E endings are also plentiful.

The dictionary counts overlap rather than add up to the total. Collins lists 456 matches, NWL2023 lists 373, and ENABLE lists 339, while the combined set has 465. A word accepted in one list may not appear in another.

Which words are worth trying first?

For 7-letter words with E as the 2nd letter and A as the 5th letter, begin with recognizable candidates such as certain, perhaps, welfare, beneath, or declare. If the first letter is still unknown, R-led examples deserve attention because R dominates the starting-letter count.

For a score-focused play, BEZZAZZ is the standout at 45 points; BEZZANT scores 27. Those unusual entries are not everyday guesses, though: only 41 words in the full set meet the common group. The list also includes 366 words with definitions, but a dictionary check matters in games because Collins, NWL2023, and ENABLE do not contain identical sets.

Questions people ask

What are some common 7-letter words with E second and A fifth?

Certain, perhaps, message, release, replace, and beneath are familiar examples that fit the pattern. The full set has 465 matches, but only 41 meet the common-word frequency measure, so these recognizable options are a practical place to start.

What is the highest-scoring word in this pattern?

BEZZAZZ is the highest-scoring listed word at 45 points. BEZZANT follows at 27 points. Both fit the required letter positions, though they are much less familiar than examples such as certain or message.

Are all 465 words accepted in every Scrabble dictionary?

No, the dictionary sets differ. Collins contains 456 matches, NWL2023 has 373, and ENABLE has 339, with overlap among them. Check the word list used by your game before relying on a particular entry.
