The pattern is _ _ N _ E _ _: N sits in slot three and E in slot five, leaving five positions open. Only 54 matches rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency. Familiar entries such as CONTENT and CONTEXT stand out quickly; many other matches are less common or inflected forms.

At a glance: the pattern and its strongest clues

A total of 448 words match the pattern in at least one tournament dictionary.
Collins has 436 matches, NWL2023 has 353, and ENABLE has 322; those dictionary counts overlap.
The 54 common matches meet the top-25,000 frequency cutoff.
S is the most common final letter, appearing in 286 matches; T follows with 65.
ZANJERO and ZONKEYS top the scoring list at 23 points apiece.

Which starting letters and endings appear most?

CONTENT, CONCEPT, CONCERN, CONTEXT, CONCERT, CONTEST, CONNECT, and CONSENT show how often this pattern begins CON. C leads the starting-letter counts with 57 matches; P follows at 42, then T at 35. When the first three tiles are open, scanning for CON is a quick way to surface familiar candidates.

The final S is a bigger clue than any other ending: 286 matches close with S, compared with 65 ending in T. WINNERS, RUNNERS, and HUNTERS show why that ending is so visible. Still, S does not prove a word is plural; use the known letters and the crossing clues before settling on a candidate.

7-letter words with N as the 3rd letter and E as the 5th letter

ZANJERO and ZONKEYS each score 23 points, far above the 10.4-point average. BENZENE, JUNKERS, PANZERS, JUNKETS, HENPECK, JANKERS, CONJECT, and JINKERS each score 18. A Z-heavy rack makes those top entries worth checking, though an unfamiliar high scorer is only playable if your game accepts it.

The 448-match total counts words found in at least one of the tournament lists, not words shared by every list. Collins has more matches than NWL2023 or ENABLE, so a word accepted in one setting may fail in another. Check your game's word list when a rare candidate decides the play.
