This pattern fixes two positions: J sits in slot three, and every match ends in S. The 41-word set includes familiar-looking options such as OBJECTS, REJECTS and PAJAMAS, alongside less common entries. Just three matches count as common by word frequency, so treat the familiar examples as a starting point rather than a guide to the whole pool.
The pattern at a glance
- There are 41 seven-letter matches, and every one ends in S.
- A and B tie as the most frequent first letters, with six words each.
- H is next among starting letters, with five matches.
- The average score is 17.2; HAJJAHs leads the scoring examples at 27.
- Collins lists 39 matches, compared with 30 in NWL2023 and 23 in ENABLE.
Which 7-letter words have J third and S seventh?
OBJECTS, REJECTS, ADJUSTS and INJECTS show how varied the opening can be while the final two positions stay fixed: J is third and S is last. PAJAMAS and PYJAMAS offer another recognizable pair, with different spellings represented in the set.
For a high-scoring play, start by checking HAJJAHs, listed at 27 points. HIJACKS and JUJUBES each score 23, while PAJOCKS scores 22 and PYJAMAS scores 21. Those are base word scores; the board can change the final total, so check premium squares before choosing.
How should you use this letter pattern?
Treat the fixed letters as anchors, then test the remaining five slots against your rack. The six A-openers and six B-openers give you two equally sized starting groups; H contributes five more. That distribution is a better first filter than assuming a J word must begin with J.
The small common-word count is a real limitation: only three entries fall within the common frequency group. Some valid tournament entries will be unfamiliar, and dictionary coverage varies across the three lists. Check your game's word list before committing, especially when a move depends on a less familiar form.
