The sixth tile does the heavy lifting here: E, O, A or I sits right before the final N in 190 of the 218 words. That is why BETWEEN, VERSION, CERTAIN and WESTERN feel so alike. Only 21 matches count as common words, so the pattern rewards a good ear for endings.

The E-to-N pattern at a glance

  • 218 seven-letter words have E second and N last.
  • Collins takes 214, NWL2023 takes 175 and ENABLE takes 159.
  • E, O, A and I sit sixth in 190 of the 218 words.
  • ZECCHIN scores 23, ahead of BEDIZEN at 19.
  • R opens 35 words, B opens 25 and H opens 20.
  • Only 21 matches are common words.

Which endings does the pattern favour?

Check the sixth tile first. E sits there in 52 words, O in 49, A in 46 and I in 43, while R and W manage 12 and 11. The four vowels together cover 190 of the 218 matches.

Three-letter tails sort them further. Words ending in -MEN number 27 (REGIMEN, CERUMEN), -MAN 24 (HEADMAN, NEWSMAN) and -ION 17, including VERSION, SECTION and MENTION. -AIN adds 11, such as CERTAIN and TERRAIN.

Which E-second, N-last words score best?

ZECCHIN scores 23 and BEDIZEN 19, with HEXAGON, BENZOIN, MENAZON and MESQUIN at 18. The Z and X tiles carry those totals, since Z is worth 10 points and X is worth 8. Everyday words trail, since the average match scores 10.9.

Familiarity is the limit. Just 21 of the 218 are common, and Collins takes 214 against 175 in NWL2023 and 159 in ENABLE, so check your game's word list before you play ZECCHIN or MESQUIN.
