The pattern is _N____A: every match has N in position two and A at the end. Collins lists all 32, while ENABLE and NWL2023 include 23 each. ANTENNA and INERTIA are the only two common words in the group, so most matches are specialist vocabulary rather than everyday guesses. That makes the fixed letters more useful than familiarity when you are narrowing a puzzle answer.

7-letter words with N as the 2nd letter and A as the 7th letter

  • All 32 matches have seven letters, N second, and A last.
  • Collins contains 32; ENABLE and NWL2023 contain 23 apiece.
  • ANTENNA and INERTIA are the only 2 entries marked common.
  • A begins 16 words, I begins 9, E begins 5, and O begins 2.

Which matches score highest in Scrabble?

ENDOZOA leads the score list at 17 points, followed by ENTOZOA at 16 and ONYCHIA at 15. ANONYMA and ANCHUSA each score 12; ANHINGA and ENCOMIA each score 11.

That ranking compares letter values, not how easy a word is to play. The highest scorers are not among the two common entries, ANTENNA and INERTIA. Check a candidate against your game's dictionary before building a move around it.

Why does the ending A narrow the pattern?

Changing only the final letter makes a striking difference: seven-letter words with N second and S last number 492, compared with 32 ending in A. When A is fixed, the first letter is often A or I: those groups total 25 words, leaving 7 that begin with E or O.

The honest limitation is that only 2 entries are marked common. ANTENNA and INERTIA are good recognizable starting points, but many remaining matches are specialist terms. Confirm a less familiar answer in the dictionary your game uses; Collins, ENABLE, and NWL2023 do not include the same number of matches.

Questions people ask

How many 7-letter words have N as the 2nd letter and A as the 7th?
There are 32 tournament-dictionary matches for this pattern. Collins includes all 32, while ENABLE and NWL2023 each include 23. ANTENNA and INERTIA are the only two marked common, so the full set reaches well beyond everyday vocabulary.
Which word in this pattern has the highest Scrabble score?
ENDOZOA is the highest scorer at 17 points. ENTOZOA follows at 16, and ONYCHIA scores 15. Those are tile-value scores; the word still needs to be accepted by the dictionary used in your game.
Are there common words with N second and A last?
Yes. ANTENNA and INERTIA are the two common entries among the 32 matches. The other words are less familiar, so a matching pattern alone does not guarantee an everyday answer or one accepted in every game's word list.
