7-letter words with J as the 3rd letter and A as the 4th letter

PAJAMAS and PYJAMAS make the third-and-fourth positions easy to spot, but their different opening letters matter when you search a rack. The set is small, and B supplies five of its starts. HIJACKS is a recognizable alternate when the opening cross disagrees.

Pattern snapshot and key plays

• The pattern has 15 matches, including both PAJAMAS and PYJAMAS.
• Nine words end in S, more than any other final letter.
• KAJAWAH scores 24, ahead of HIJACKS at 23.
• B begins five entries, the largest starting-letter group.

Which words make this pattern distinctive?

PAJAMAS and PYJAMAS are the standout pair: both place J third and A fourth, yet their spellings differ at the opening. Together they make the pattern easier to recognize, but the remaining entries are less familiar. B begins five matches; M and P start two apiece.

KAJAWAH leads at 24 points, with HIJACKS close behind at 23 and PYJAMAS at 21. This is a useful reminder that a recognizable answer is not always the top-scoring one. HIJACKS is much easier to spot in play, while the score leader is a specialist word.

7-letter words with j third and a fourth

S appears at the end of nine matches; A and D each finish two, and H and T appear once. Most of this small group therefore has a plural-looking final tile, although the pattern alone does not establish that every S-form is a plural. Only one entry is common by frequency, so check your game’s word list before using an obscure candidate.

HIJACKS is a strong visual clue because its opening is familiar and its final S appears often across this group. KAJAWAH points in the opposite direction: it wins on tile value, while its spelling is less likely to come to mind. Keep those separate solving routes in mind.
