The pattern fixes two letters but leaves five positions open: the third and final letters must both be E. That produces a mix of everyday vocabulary and less familiar game entries. P is the most common opening letter, while only 23 words in the set rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency. Use the fixed pattern to narrow a rack or solve a clue, then check your game’s dictionary.

At a glance: the E–E pattern

  • 239 tournament-dictionary words match the seven-letter pattern.
  • Every match ends in E, and E also occupies the third position.
  • P leads the opening letters with 57 entries; S follows with 25.
  • Only 23 matches are among the top 25,000 English words by frequency.

7-letter words with E in positions 3 and 7

This pattern has 239 matches across the tournament word lists. The counts differ by dictionary: 233 appear in Collins, 183 in NWL2023, and 166 in ENABLE. Those totals overlap, so they do not add up to the overall count.

Check your game’s word list before playing an unfamiliar entry.

P is a striking opener: its 57 matches outnumber the 25 beginning with S and the 23 beginning with A. Examples include PREPARE, PRECISE, PREFACE, and PRELUDE. For a clue with both fixed Es, testing P early is a practical narrowing move, but the remaining letters still decide which word fits.

Which familiar and high-scoring words fit?

AVERAGE, AWESOME, THEATRE, OPERATE, BREATHE, and TEENAGE are recognizable choices in this pattern. EXECUTE and OVERSEE fit too, though the shared final E does not mean these words share a suffix or meaning. The list is not a Wordle answer pool: no matching words appear among the answers or allowed guesses counted here.

For Scrabble, PREZZIE leads the score ranking at 27 points; WHEEZLE scores 22, while GRECQUE and GRECIZE each score 19. These are less familiar than AVERAGE or PREPARE, so treat the score list as a rack option, not a vocabulary shortlist. A high face-value score still depends on the board.
