This pattern fixes two positions: N goes second and X goes fifth, leaving five letters to distinguish each match. The openings cluster around U and I, while most words finish in D or S. Only three entries rank among the top 25,000 English words by wordfreq frequency, so expect a mix of recognizable forms and specialist vocabulary.

At a glance: the pattern’s shape

  • Exactly 26 tournament-dictionary words fit the N-second, X-fifth pattern.
  • U begins 13 entries and I begins nine; together, those openings account for 22 words.
  • Thirteen entries end in D, while 10 end in S.
  • Only three entries fall within the top 25,000 English words by wordfreq frequency.

How many 7-letter words have N second and X fifth?

There are 26 matches across the tournament word lists. The total counts words present in at least one of ENABLE, Collins, or NWL2023; the source counts are 19, 24, and 21, respectively. Those counts overlap, so adding them would overstate the number of distinct words.

ANNEXED, INDEXES, and INBOXES are among the recognizable examples. Endings also show a strong split: 13 words finish in D and 10 in S. UNFIXED and INDEXED illustrate the D group; ANNEXES and INBOXES show the S ending.

Two words end in L, and one ends in R.

Tip

Treat the letter pattern as a filter, not a promise of everyday vocabulary: 22 of the 26 matches have definitions, but most are outside the common-word group.
