7-letter words with K as the 2nd letter and S as the 7th letter

This pattern is unusually narrow: 26 words start with S, while just four start with A and one starts with E. Only one of the 31 is common by the top-25,000 frequency measure. The dictionary counts differ too: Collins includes 28 matches, NWL2023 has 17, and ENABLE has 14, so a word accepted in one game may not carry over to another.

The pattern at a glance

• 31 seven-letter words match K in position two and S in the final position.
• SKYWAYS is the top scorer at 20 points; SKYPHOS follows at 19.
• SKYCAPS scores 18, ahead of SKLIFFS at 17.
• 26 matches begin with S; only five begin with another letter.
• One match ranks among the top 25,000 English words by frequency.

Why are there so few matches?

The fixed K leaves a small pool, and the final S narrows it further. That makes this clue a sharp filter rather than a broad word-family search: most of the matches begin with SK, including familiar-looking examples such as SKATERS, SKEWERS, and SKYWAYS.

The skew is striking beside the A-second, S-final pattern, which has 2,136 matches. Even the I-second sibling has 1,265. Those comparisons show why guessing a common-looking start can mislead: the K pattern has only 31 matches, and four of them start with A while one starts with E.

For rack scoring, SKYWAYS is the standout at 20 points, with SKYPHOS at 19 and SKYCAPS at 18. SKLIFFS reaches 17. Keep the unusual spellings in mind: a high tile total does not make a word familiar or playable in every dictionary.

SKATERS and SKEWERS are easier to recognize than many entries, but neither changes the scarcity of this pattern. Check your game's word list before committing to an unfamiliar match; the tournament-dictionary totals vary, and only one entry is common by the frequency cutoff.
