Only 10 entries satisfy both fixed positions, making this a narrow pattern rather than a broad word bank. Eight have a join or joint sequence, while DEJEUNE and SEJEANT break that visual run. Lock the third and sixth letters first, then check the remaining five slots against your rack; the starting letters and endings offer useful filters.

At a glance: a small set with two clear leaders

  • Collins contains all 10 matches; ENABLE and NWL2023 contain seven each.
  • COJOINS and ABJOINT tie for the top score at 16 points.
  • Five words end in T, four end in S, and one ends in E.
  • Three matches start with A; C, D, E, I, R, S, and U each start one.

Which 7-letter words have J third and N sixth?

The complete set is ADJOINS, ADJOINT, REJOINS, ENJOINS, UNJOINT, ABJOINT, COJOINS, DEJEUNE, INJOINT, and SEJEANT. Each keeps J in the third slot and N in the sixth, while the other five letters vary.

Eight entries visibly follow join or joint spellings; DEJEUNE and SEJEANT are the exceptions. The contrast between endings is useful when crossing letters are known: five finish with T, four with S, and only DEJEUNE finishes with E. The same J-third pattern has 28 matches with E sixth and 12 with A sixth, making N the tightest of those options.

What are the scoring and vocabulary limits?

COJOINS and ABJOINT lead at 16 points apiece. ADJOINS, ADJOINT, and DEJEUNE follow at 15, and the group averages 14.7. The tied leaders take different routes through the first slot: COJOINS starts with C, while ABJOINT starts with A.

These are specialist entries rather than everyday vocabulary: none falls within the top 25,000 common English words, and eight have definitions. When choosing a play, prioritize a word your game accepts; Collins includes all 10, but ENABLE and NWL2023 each include seven. The fixed-letter fit is rare, but dictionary coverage still decides whether a move counts.
