Every entry has N as its third letter and ends in N, so the pattern is unusually easy to verify once you spot the final tile. Familiar examples include CONTAIN, PENSION, and TENSION. The selection spans everyday vocabulary and less familiar plays; only 15 entries count as common, so a matching pattern does not guarantee a word you’ll recognize.

At a glance: the N-and-N pattern

  • The pattern contains 100 seven-letter words, and every one ends in N.
  • MENTION, CONCERN, and CONTAIN are recognizable examples that fit both fixed positions.
  • M is the most frequent first letter, with 15 words; C and L each start 12.
  • Collins includes all 100 entries; NWL2023 includes 84 and ENABLE includes 82.
  • Only 15 entries are common, so many pattern matches are specialist or less familiar words.

How many 7-letter words with N in positions 3 and 7?

There are 100 words with N in both the third and seventh positions. The final N is shared by the whole set, while the opening letters vary: M leads with 15, and C and L tie at 12 each.

Changing the third letter changes the size of the group: 177 words have R in that position and N at the end. Keep the final N fixed while testing candidates such as PENGUIN, LANTERN, or DUNGEON against the remaining known letters.

The last-letter alternative makes an even bigger difference. With N in the third spot and S at the end, the matching group has 1,019 words, so a confirmed final N sharply narrows the search.

Which matching words score highest?

JUNKMAN and JUNKMEN lead the listed tile scores at 20 points apiece. BENZOIN and MENAZON score 18, while DENIZEN, XANTHAN, and XANTHIN each reach 17.

For a seven-tile play, JUNKMAN is the standout score, but its less familiar vocabulary makes it a risky guess in a clue-solving game. 7-letter words with N in positions 3 and 7 have different dictionary coverage: Collins has 100, compared with 84 in NWL2023 and 82 in ENABLE. Check your game's word list before relying on an unfamiliar entry.

Questions people ask

How many words have N as the third and seventh letters?
There are 100 seven-letter words with N in both positions. The group includes familiar words such as MENTION, CONCERN, and CONTAIN, as well as less common entries. All 100 also end in N because the seventh letter is the final letter.
What is the highest-scoring word in this pattern?
JUNKMAN and JUNKMEN tie for the highest listed tile score at 20 points each. BENZOIN and MENAZON follow at 18 points. Those figures are tile scores, so board premiums can change the points earned during a play.
Are all 100 words accepted in every word game?
No. Collins contains 100 matching entries, while NWL2023 contains 84 and ENABLE contains 82. That difference means a word accepted in one game's dictionary might not be accepted in another, especially among the less familiar matches.
