This pattern leans heavily on words with a doubled Z: nozzles, nuzzles, nuzzler, nozzers, and nuzzers all fit. The set is also unusually obscure: none is among the common English words. Treat it as a useful fit for a letter-pattern clue, not a stash of everyday vocabulary.

The N-and-Z pattern at a glance

  • 10 tournament-dictionary words match N in position one and Z in position four.
  • NUZZLED is the top scorer at 26 points; five other entries score 25.
  • Five words end in S, including NOZZLES and NUZZLES.
  • Collins lists all 10 matches; ENABLE and NWL2023 each list 7.

Which N-and-Z words score the most?

NUZZLED tops the scoring list at 26 points. NOZZLES, NUZZLES, NUZZLER, NOZZERS, and NUZZERS each score 25, so the strongest options cluster around doubled Z rather than one standout spelling. Each Z tile is worth 10 points, so NUZZLED draws 20 of its 26 from its two Zs.

The average score is 22.5, unusually high for a short list of playable words. NONZERO is the low scorer at 16, while NEEZING scores 17; both fall well below the 22.5 average. Check the word’s spelling before building a play around its score.

7-letter words with N as the 1st letter and Z as the 4th letter

Only five matches end in S; the rest finish with D, G, O, or R. That makes the final letter a quick way to narrow a clue: an S ending points to a substantial half of this group, while each other ending leaves fewer options.

The pattern is sparse beside nearby N-starting patterns: 64 seven-letter words put T in position four, and 55 put A there. None of these N-and-Z matches is common, so obscure forms such as NUDZHED and NEEZING may need a dictionary check. Collins includes all 10, but ENABLE and NWL2023 include only 7 apiece.
