Treat the pattern as _E__L__: E is fixed in slot two and L in slot five, leaving four positions open. RESULTS, REGULAR, DEVELOP, and PENALTY show how different the frame can look. The count spans tournament dictionaries rather than every dictionary entry, and only 23 matches fall among the top 25,000 English words by frequency.

At a glance: the fixed-letter pattern

The match set contains 256 seven-letter words with E second and L fifth.
Collins includes 254; NWL2023 includes 202, and ENABLE includes 189.
Only 23 qualify as common by the top-25,000 frequency cutoff.
RESULTS, REGULAR, DEVELOP, and PENALTY are recognizable examples.
The average tile score is 10.7 points.

Which endings appear most often?

Words ending in S lead this pattern, with 96 matches; D follows at 56, then R at 36. RESULTS, SETTLED, and RESOLVE make useful visual anchors: the same _E__L__ frame can finish with a plural, a past-tense form, or a verb ending in E.

Starting letters are less concentrated than those endings. R leads with 59 words, while P has 26; B and M each have 22. Check the fixed positions before leaning on a common opening, since an R start and an S ending still leave several middle slots unresolved.

How does this pattern compare with nearby clues?

With A in the second position and L fifth, the seven-letter pattern has 408 matches; O in the second position gives 327. Keep E in the second position but switch the fifth letter to I, and the count reaches 1,099. These contrasts show how sharply one changed position can widen a word search.

Among this pattern’s matches, 222 have definitions and 23 meet the stated common-word cutoff. JEWELRY, NEEDLES, and TEMPLES are easier to recognize than less familiar entries. Treat the pattern as a tournament-word resource, not a promise that every candidate is familiar or accepted in your game; check your game's word list before playing an obscure option.

Questions people ask

How many seven-letter words have E second and L fifth?

There are 256 matches with E in the second position and L in the fifth. The count includes words listed in at least one tournament dictionary. RESULTS, REGULAR, and DEVELOP are familiar examples, while only 23 matches meet the common-word frequency cutoff.

Which final letters are most common in these words?

S is the most common ending, appearing in 96 matches; D comes next with 56, followed by R with 36. RESULTS and SETTLED illustrate two frequent endings. Checking the final letter can narrow candidates quickly once E and L are fixed.

What is the highest-scoring word in this pattern?

BEZZLED is the highest-scoring listed word, at 28 points. BEZZLES follows at 27, while HEXYLIC scores 22. Those less familiar options make a striking contrast with everyday examples such as REGULAR, so verify that your game accepts a word before building a play around it.
