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

The pattern leaves a compact set, and none of its entries ranks as common by the word-frequency measure. KNEECAP is the standout familiar example; ENVELOP and SNOWCAP offer other recognizable options. Dictionary coverage differs: Collins includes 17 matches, while NWL2023 includes 12 and ENABLE includes 11.

Quick facts about the pattern

• The complete tournament-dictionary count is 18 words, all ending in P.
• Seven matches begin with E, while six begin with U.
• I, K, and S account for the remaining first letters: three, one, and one word.
• KNEECAP leads the scoring examples at 15 points; SNOWCAP follows at 14.
• No match is classified as common by the word-frequency measure.

Which entries score highest?

KNEECAP scores 15 points, the highest figure among these matches. SNOWCAP is next at 14, while UNCLAMP and ENDSHIP each score 13. Those four are the strongest starting points when you want to compare familiar-looking plays with higher tile value.

ENVELOP, UNSHARP, and ENSWEEP each score 12. The 11-point group includes UNCLASP, ENCLASP, and INCLASP. Compare the letter mix before committing: repeated patterns such as the three clasp forms can look alike but start with different letters.

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

The final P makes this group unusually small beside other endings for words with N in second place. The matching S-ending pattern has 492 entries, and the D-ending pattern has 307. That contrast makes the last letter a strong filter when you are solving a fixed-position clue.

The first-letter split also gives you a practical search order: try E and U first, since together they account for 13 of the 18 words. Then check I, with three matches, before the single K- and S-starting entries. KNEECAP and ENVELOP are easier to recall than several obscure forms.

Treat the total as a cross-dictionary pool, not a promise that every game accepts every word. Collins has more matches than either NWL2023 or ENABLE, and none is classed as common. Check your game's word list before relying on a less familiar entry.
