Which matches stand out for spelling and score?

Among the named matches, LIKABLE, IRKSOME, and ASKANCE show how much the letters around K can change. KOKANEE and TEKTITE offer different letter patterns, while MAKABLE, POKABLE, TAKABLE, INKLIKE, and OAKLIKE share familiar-looking endings. Those endings make the final E predictable, but they do not identify the K in position three.

For Scrabble, KOKANEE, MAKABLE, INKLIKE, OAKLIKE, and POKABLE each score 15 points before board bonuses. The average score across the matches is 14.6, so the group offers solid tile value even though its words are uncommon. Look at the actual letters, not just the ending, when checking a rack against this pattern.

Where the dictionary lists differ

For 7-letter words with K as the 3rd letter and E as the 7th letter, Collins has the broadest coverage: all 14 matches appear there. NWL2023 has 11, and ENABLE has 10. A word accepted in one list can still be rejected in another, so check your game's word list before challenging or playing an unfamiliar entry.

The zero common-word count is a real limitation for everyday vocabulary: most of these entries are not words you are likely to reach for in ordinary conversation. Use the fixed letter positions to filter a puzzle first, then confirm the spelling; KOKANEE and TEKTITE are examples worth checking rather than guessing.
