7-letter words with E as the 3rd letter and A as the 7th letter

  • 45 entries fit the pattern across the tournament dictionaries.
  • Collins includes 45 matches, NWL2023 includes 31, and ENABLE includes 28.
  • Only 2 matches are classified as common by English word frequency.
  • ACEQUIA, EXEMPLA, and KHEDIVA lead the score list at 18 points each.
  • A begins 9 matches, P begins 6, and E and S begin 4 each.

Which matching words are familiar or high-scoring?

Examples span several kinds of words: SPECTRA and INERTIA sit beside URETHRA, MYELOMA, and CREMONA. Their openings vary even though the third and final letters stay fixed: A begins 9 matches, P begins 6, and E and S begin 4 apiece.

Scoring favors entries such as ACEQUIA, EXEMPLA, and KHEDIVA, which each score 18 points. QUERIDA, SHEIKHA, GUEREZA, and CHECHIA follow at 17. The 45-word total is Collins-wide; NWL2023 accepts 31 and ENABLE accepts 28, so check your game's word list before playing an unfamiliar entry.

Definitions are available for 42 matches. SPECTRA, INERTIA, and MYELOMA are recognizable examples, while ACEQUIA and EXEMPLA also stand out in the score results. The set mixes approachable-looking words with entries that are less familiar to many players.

How can you narrow the pattern?

The final A is the tight constraint: with E still in the third slot, 548 matches end in S and 337 end in D, compared with 45 ending in A. That contrast makes the last letter the bottleneck, not the third-position E.

For 7-letter words with E as the 3rd letter and A as the 7th letter, lock the final square first, then test the third square and inspect the remaining four slots. SPECTRA and INERTIA show why the two fixed letters alone do not identify a word. If no candidate fits, keep E in place and try a different final letter; the S-ending and D-ending patterns have larger pools.

Questions people ask

How many seven-letter words have E third and A last?
Forty-five seven-letter entries match the pattern in the tournament dictionaries. Collins includes all 45, while NWL2023 accepts 31 and ENABLE accepts 28. The list is broader than either North American or ENABLE play, so verify an unfamiliar answer against the dictionary used at your table.
Which matching word scores highest?
ACEQUIA, EXEMPLA, and KHEDIVA tie for the top score at 18 points each. QUERIDA, SHEIKHA, GUEREZA, and CHECHIA each score 17. These high scorers offer a contrast with familiar-looking examples such as SPECTRA and INERTIA.
Which first letters appear most often in these matches?
A starts 9 matching words, the most frequent initial. P begins 6, while E and S each begin 4; these are the leading first-letter counts. A fixed final A does not mean every match starts with A, so use the first and third slots together to narrow a candidate.
