With E fixed in both positions, the pattern still covers a broad mix: 597 entries appear across tournament dictionaries. Only 68 rank among the commonest English words, while 508 have definitions. That contrast matters in a game: recognizable choices such as BETWEEN sit beside rarer words that are less likely to come to mind.
How many 7-letter words with E as the 2nd and 5th letters fit?
- The pattern has 597 tournament-dictionary entries, with E fixed in slots two and five.
- Just 68 are common by English word frequency, so familiar options make up a small share.
- BETWEEN, BELIEVE, MEMBERS, PERFECT, and PERCENT are recognizable examples.
- R begins 83 entries, ahead of B at 56; D and S tie at 50.
- S ends 375 entries, while T is next at 85; plural forms account for familiar examples such as MEMBERS and LETTERS.
Why do so many matching words end in S?
S closes 375 of the 597 entries, just over three in five. MEMBERS, LETTERS, SECRETS, and REVIEWS show how often a plural ending lands on this pattern. When a clue also points to an S at the end, test that slot early; it sharply narrows the possibilities.
The second-position letter changes the size of a closely related pattern: A appears there in 849 seven-letter words with E fifth, and O in 755. The E-and-E pattern has 597, just above the I-and-E version at 569. A fixed pair of letters can still leave very different-sized search pools.
After S, the endings thin out: T closes 85 entries, Y closes 31, D closes 25 and E closes 21. R leads the openers at 83, so a known R start plus a final S cuts the field fast.
Which matching words score well, and what should you check?
JEEZELY leads the high scorers at 26 points; CERVEZA scores 21 and WEAZENS 19. The 597-word count combines dictionary entries, so check your game's word list before relying on an unfamiliar play.
