The fixed pattern is _E_T___: E occupies the second slot and T the fourth, while the other five positions can vary. Familiar examples include GETTING, CERTAIN, MEETING, CENTRAL and WEATHER. Those everyday-looking entries sit beside obscure tournament words, so the 500-match total is broader than a casual vocabulary list.

At a glance: the pattern’s strongest clues

  • GETTING, CERTAIN, MEETING and WEATHER fit the pattern and are among its most recognizable examples.
  • 500 entries match the seven-letter shape _E_T___ across the supported tournament dictionaries.
  • Collins contains 491 matches; ENABLE contains 356.
  • Only 71 qualify as common by our frequency measure.
  • PECTIZE and PEPTIZE lead the listed Scrabble scores at 20 points apiece.

Which starts and endings are most common?

The most common final letter is S, with 156 matches; E follows at 72. Initial P leads with 60 words, then B with 48 and S with 43. If your clue also shows an ending, test S before less frequent options.

Only 71 matches count as common by frequency, while 414 have a definition. SETTLED, BEATING and LEATHER are accessible anchors; PECTIZE and PEPTIZE show how quickly the same pattern reaches specialist vocabulary.

How should you use 7-letter words with E as 2nd and T as 4th?

PECTIZE and PEPTIZE lead the Scrabble scoring examples at 20 points apiece; ZESTFUL and ZESTILY score 19. The premium comes from Z, not from E in slot two or T in slot four, so a pattern match alone does not predict a strong play. Keep the rack and board squares in view.

Dictionary coverage is broad but uneven: Collins lists 491 matches, NWL2023 has 385, and ENABLE has 356. A word in the combined pool may still fail in a particular app, so check the game's chosen list before committing a rare form such as PECTIZE. These counts do not mean every entry is playable under every ruleset.

Start with familiar anchors, then work outward through less common candidates. WEATHER, FEATURE and VENTURE all fit; the full set is not an everyday-vocabulary filter. For a seven-letter placement clue, compare the neighboring pattern with E second and R fourth.

Questions people ask

How many seven-letter words have E second and T fourth?
There are 500 matching words across the supported tournament dictionaries. Collins contains 491, while ENABLE contains 356, so the available total depends on which word list your game uses. GETTING, CERTAIN and WEATHER are familiar examples.
Which words with this pattern score the most in Scrabble?
PECTIZE and PEPTIZE top the scores at 20 points each. Their Z accounts for much of the scoring value; the fixed E and T positions do not make a word high-scoring by themselves. Check your board and rack before choosing a play.
What are common endings for seven-letter words with E second and T fourth?
S is the most common final letter, appearing in 156 matches; E is next with 72. If your puzzle gives you the last letter as well as the E-and-T positions, an S ending narrows the candidates more sharply.
