7-letter words with E as the 2nd letter and Z as the 6th letter

The pattern is unusually narrow: just 14 tournament-dictionary words put E second and Z sixth in a seven-letter entry. Only one qualifies as common, and REALIZE is the standout recognizable match; DEGLAZE and REFROZE show how many options come from verb forms. Ten of the 14 end in E, giving you a useful second check after spotting the Z.

The E-Z pattern at a glance

• Fourteen entries meet both fixed-letter clues across at least one of Collins, NWL2023, or ENABLE.
• Collins includes all 14; NWL2023 includes 11, while ENABLE includes 10.
• Five matches begin with R, more than any other opening letter.
• Ten end in E; A closes two, while O and Z close one each.
• BEZZAZZ leads the score list at 45, well ahead of CERVEZA at 21.

Which words fit E second and Z sixth?

Five of the 14 start with R, including REALIZE, REFROZE, RESEIZE, REGLAZE, and REPRIZE. D, M, and P each account for two openings; B, C, and H contribute one apiece. That uneven start distribution is a better narrowing clue than the E in position two, which every match shares.

When your puzzle confirms the sixth-position Z, test the first letter next: R removes more candidates than any other opening.

Endings are more lopsided: 10 close with E, two with A (MESTIZA and CERVEZA), and only MESTIZO and BEZZAZZ finish with O and Z. A final E is a sensible first filter, but it still leaves most of the set; the sixth-position Z does the real work. Keep the endings separate rather than assuming every match is an -E verb: MESTIZO and MESTIZA break that expectation.

BEZZAZZ is the score outlier at 45, followed by CERVEZA at 21. PECTIZE, DEFROZE, and PEPTIZE each score 20; REFROZE and HEROIZE score 19, while MESTIZO, DEGLAZE, and MESTIZA score 18. BEZZAZZ carries four Z tiles, a striking spelling behind its lead; still, the tile score is not the same as a guaranteed turn total on every board.

Only one entry is classed as common, so several options will look unfamiliar. Dictionary coverage also differs: Collins has 14 matches, NWL2023 has 11, and ENABLE has 10. Check your game's word list before relying on an uncommon form such as RESEIZE or BEZZAZZ; this pattern spans several dictionaries rather than one universal acceptance list.
