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

With N fixed in slot two and E at the end, the first letter does much of the sorting. U leads with 62 matches, followed by I with 47; E and A account for 37 and 25. Familiar entries such as INCLUDE, INTENSE, INVOLVE, and ENHANCE sit beside less obvious choices, giving this pattern both everyday vocabulary and tournament-list discoveries.

Pattern facts at a glance

• Every match has N in position two and E in position seven; the other five slots vary.
• All 191 end in E, so the final letter adds no variation inside this set.
• U is the leading first letter with 62 matches; I follows with 47.
• Only 25 matches are classed as common by word frequency.
• 132 entries have definitions, while the list also includes less familiar tournament words.

Which words score highest?

SNUZZLE scores 25 points, topping this pattern; ANALYZE and UNFROZE tie at 19. ENFROZE also scores 19, while KNUCKLE and ANODIZE score 17. ANTIQUE, INQUIRE, ENQUIRE, and UNQUOTE each reach 16.

Those familiar examples are easier to spot than SNUZZLE, whose unusual spelling hides a strong tile total. These are base Scrabble tile scores, not a promise of a particular board result: premium squares and placement change the final tally. For a recognizable high scorer, ANALYZE offers a clear contrast to SNUZZLE at 19 points.

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

Only 25 of the 191 matches are classed as common by word frequency, so this pattern includes many less familiar entries.

Dictionary coverage differs: 188 matches appear in Collins, 136 in NWL2023, and 126 in ENABLE, with overlap among those sets. The 191 total counts words appearing in at least one of the three, not a sum of their subtotals. Check your game's word list before trying an unfamiliar entry; the pattern alone does not guarantee acceptance everywhere.

To narrow a rack or board clue, fix slots two and seven first, then test the first letter. U, I, E, and A cover groups of 62, 47, 37, and 25 words. If the opening letter is known, focus on that group rather than scanning all 191 candidates; INCLUDE and ENHANCE fit the I and E groups.
