The pattern F_____E holds five open middle positions between two fixed letters. Across tournament dictionaries, it yields 156 entries, but just 18 rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency. FEATURE and FAILURE are quick recognition wins; less familiar choices become relevant when you need a rack or board fit, and the fixed ends make this search narrower than a general seven-letter scan.
The F_____E pattern in brief
- A total of 156 tournament-dictionary entries start with F and finish with E.
- Only 18 matches fall within the top 25,000 English words by frequency.
- Collins includes 152; NWL2023 includes 118, and ENABLE includes 107.
- FRIZZLE and FRAZZLE share the top score: 28 points.
- For comparison, 403 seven-letter words start with S and end with E.
Which familiar words match F_____E?
FEATURE, FAILURE, FINANCE, FOOTAGE, and FORTUNE are easy matches to spot. FORGIVE, FATIGUE, FRAGILE, FIXTURE, and FERTILE add a verb and several adjectives without changing the F-first, E-last frame.
Familiarity is limited: 18 entries meet the frequency cutoff, while 124 have definitions. When the clue fixes both ends, test likely middle-letter groups rather than guessing the whole word at once. FEATURE and FOOTAGE share their first three letters; FORGAVE, FORBADE, and FORSAKE show how much the center can vary.
7-letter words with F as the 1st letter and E as the 7th letter
FRIZZLE and FRAZZLE are the score leaders at 28 points apiece. Each puts two Zs into a seven-letter play, so the high total comes from its valuable middle letters rather than the final E. FOXLIKE reaches 21, and FOXHOLE and FOXFIRE each reach 20.
A big score is no guarantee of acceptance. Collins lists 152 matches, compared with 118 in NWL2023 and 107 in ENABLE; the dictionary sets overlap, so their counts should not be added together. Check your game's word list before playing a less familiar entry.
FINANCE and FURNACE are practical candidates to recognize, while FRAZZLE is a more striking scoring option. The pattern contains both kinds of vocabulary, but only 18 matches are common by frequency. Compare another fixed-letter search when the middle tiles do not cooperate.
