The 247 matches balance familiar words with a striking score leader. The count is 247, with 31 common entries under the site's frequency measure. This pattern is best approached by checking the fixed squares first, then testing the rest of each candidate against your rack or clue. Defense is a strong recognition point, but several entries require specialist vocabulary.

At a glance for this letter pattern

  • 247 tournament-list words match the two fixed positions.
  • 31 entries fall among the common-word group.
  • DEFENSE and SECONDS are useful recognition anchors.
  • JEJUNUM leads the listed scores at 23 points.

Which 7-letter words with E second and n fifth letter are easiest to recognize?

DEFENSE, SECONDS, LEARNED, and REVENUE give this frame a familiar surface; JEJUNUM is the standout scorer. For a quick solve, compare the letter pattern rather than relying on the opening sound. DEFENSE and SECONDS both satisfy the frame, but their different endings show why the remaining squares matter.

LEARNED supplies another check when the first two examples do not match your available letters.

The list is a clue aid, not a guarantee that every entry feels familiar or appears in every game dictionary. 31 common entries out of 247 leaves many less everyday choices, especially around JEJUNUM. Check your game's word list when an unfamiliar candidate decides the turn.

How do the strongest plays compare?

Tip

Lock the two known positions before scanning endings. DEFENSE is a quick fit check; JEJUNUM is the score-led option when its remaining letters work.

How should you narrow the candidates?

Start with the clue's fixed positions, then use the examples to check the letters between them. DEFENSE is the familiar baseline; SECONDS changes the ending, while JEJUNUM illustrates the less expected scoring route. That contrast is specific to this pattern and gives you three distinct checks while solving.

For a seven-tile play, also confirm the candidate uses every square exactly once.
