The fixed pattern is _N____S: N sits in the second spot, and every match ends in S. Familiar picks include ANIMALS, ANSWERS, ENEMIES, and ENGINES, but only 38 matches rank among common English words. That gap matters in a game: the pattern gives you a sizeable tournament-word pool, not a guarantee that every option will feel familiar.

At a glance: the _N____S pattern

There are 492 seven-letter matches with N second and S seventh.
U is the most common first letter, with 165 matches; I follows with 127.
E starts 96 matches, while A starts 59.
Only 38 of the matches are common English words.
ENZYMES leads the scoring examples at 21 points.

Which letters start these seven-letter words?

U, I, and E dominate the opening position: together, their counts are 165, 127, and 96. That makes an unfamiliar first letter less likely to be K or G; just 5 matches start with K and 4 with G.

Try recognizable candidates first. ANIMALS and ANSWERS begin with A, ENEMIES and ENGINES with E, and INSECTS or INMATES with I. The A group has 59 matches, so it is a smaller pool than U, I, or E.

All 492 words share the final S, so that letter confirms the pattern rather than narrowing it. For a different final-letter clue with N still in position two, the R-ending group has 113 matches and the T-ending group has 116.

Which matches score most, and what should you check?

ENZYMES is the standout scorer at 21 points. INKJETS and ENJAMBS each score 18, while INFIXES, UNFIXES, and ENFIXES each score 17. Those less familiar choices can beat an everyday word on a plain Scrabble rack.

The dictionary counts differ: Collins has 477 matches, NWL2023 has 345, and ENABLE has 315. The overall 492-word pool combines words from at least one of those tournament lists, so check your game's word list before playing a less familiar entry.

For a quick search, begin with U, I, or E, then test the ending S. This pattern contains 7-letter words with N as the 2nd letter and S as the 7th letter, but its 38 common entries are only a small slice of the full pool.

Questions people ask

How many seven-letter words have N second and S last?

There are 492 tournament-dictionary matches with N in the second position and S in the final position. ANIMALS, ANSWERS, and ENEMIES are recognizable examples. The total combines words appearing in at least one of Collins, NWL2023, or ENABLE.

What is the highest-scoring word in this pattern?

ENZYMES is the highest-scoring example, at 21 points. INKJETS and ENJAMBS follow at 18 points each. These scores make the less familiar words worth checking when your game accepts them and your rack fits the pattern.

Which first letter is most common in this group?

U is the most common first letter, appearing in 165 matches. I is next with 127, followed by E with 96. By comparison, only 5 matches begin with K and 4 begin with G, so those openings are much less frequent.
