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

This pattern is unusually narrow: the second slot is F and the sixth is E, leaving only three positions free to vary. Just three matches are common by frequency, so OFFICER, OFFERED, and OFFICES are familiar anchors amid a largely obscure set. The combination still leaves the first and last tiles open, and those positions split into clear groups that can narrow a clue quickly.

How many 7-letter words have F second and E sixth?

• Count: 19 entries match the two fixed letter positions.
• Familiarity: only 3 matches count as common by frequency.
• First letters: E starts 7 words; A and O each start 6.
• Final letters: D leads with 7, followed by S with 6 and R with 5.
• Top tile score: AFFIXED earns 21 points.

Which first and last letters appear in this pattern?

E, A, and O are the only first letters represented: seven words start with E, six with A, and six with O. No single opening dominates, so check all three before dismissing a candidate when the clue gives you only the internal F and E.

Endings cluster differently. Seven matches finish in D, six in S, five in R, and just one in E. If a crossing fixes the final tile, D or S gives the strongest branch, while the lone E ending deserves a separate check.

OFFICER, OFFERED, and OFFICES show three recognizable routes through the pattern.

Which matches score highest, and where are they accepted?

AFFIXED leads the tile-score table at 21 points, with AFFIXES and AFFIXER at 20 each; EFFACED scores 16. The repeated F supplies much of the scoring lift, but a rack score is only a starting point: premium squares and crosswords change the play’s value. These leaders are worth checking when the pattern is fixed and you need points rather than a familiar word.

For the 7-letter words with F as the 2nd letter and E as the 6th letter, dictionary coverage is not identical: Collins includes 19, NWL2023 has 17, and ENABLE has 16. Only three entries count as common, so the full set leans obscure; check your game’s word list before relying on a less familiar form.
