This is a tightly bounded pattern: all 10 tournament-list matches end in F. HIMSELF is the everyday anchor; KICKOFF and LIFTOFF form a recognizable pair, while MIDRIFF and DISTAFF broaden the clue options. Just two meet the common-word cutoff, so this is a short, specialist search.

Seven-letter words with I second and F seventh at a glance

  • Only 10 words match; eight have definitions.
  • KICKOFF is the top scorer at 23 points.
  • PICKOFF scores 21 and FIXATIF scores 20.
  • Every match ends in F, leaving no alternate final-letter branch.

Which words are easiest to place?

HIMSELF is the most natural starting point for a clue, while KICKOFF and LIFTOFF offer a pair with a shared ending and a clear F at the tail. MIDRIFF and DISTAFF add less obvious choices. The list is small enough that checking these anchors against crossing letters is quick.

PICKOFF also belongs to the familiar OFF family, but its score reaches 21. FIXATIF scores 20, a less everyday option. Because every candidate shares the final F, the opening and middle letters do the real sorting; spending time on alternate last letters cannot narrow this set.

What does the score ceiling tell you?

KICKOFF leads at 23 points, followed by PICKOFF at 21 and FIXATIF at 20. LIFTOFF and MIDRIFF each score 16. These are base values from letter tiles, so a double or triple square can change the board result; the ranking only compares the word forms themselves.

The narrow vocabulary is the main limitation: just two entries meet the common-word cutoff. For a crossword, the fixed F provides a strong clue; for a game, keep HIMSELF, KICKOFF and LIFTOFF ahead of obscure possibilities and confirm the dictionary entry. That fixed ending is decisive.

A quick solving tip

Tip

Since F is fixed in the final square for all 10 matches, spend your next guess on an uncertain opening or middle tile instead.

No. This exact frame has 10 tournament-list matches, and every one ends in F. HIMSELF, KICKOFF and LIFTOFF are among the familiar anchors. Eight entries have definitions, but only two meet the common-word cutoff.
Which matching word scores the most?
KICKOFF leads the score ranking at 23 points. PICKOFF follows at 21 and FIXATIF at 20, with LIFTOFF and MIDRIFF scoring 16 each. Premium squares affect a real play, so these values describe the base tile score only.
Does the last letter vary in this pattern?
