This group mixes familiar choices such as perfect, perhaps, and percent with less familiar tournament entries. The count includes words found in at least one of ENABLE, Collins, or NWL2023, rather than adding each dictionary’s total. Only 34 entries rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency, so expect both everyday vocabulary and specialist plays.

How many seven-letter P-E words are there?

The combined tournament-dictionary count is 367 words.
Collins includes 357 matches, while NWL2023 includes 275 and ENABLE includes 253; those sets overlap.
Only 34 matches fall within the top 25,000 English words by frequency.
Perfect, perhaps, percent, and perform are familiar examples.
S is the most frequent ending, appearing on 123 words.

Which endings dominate this P-E pattern?

S leads by a wide margin: 123 matches end in S, compared with 52 ending in E and 33 in G. Peoples, permits, and peppers show how often this pattern can finish with S. When the final square is open, check S-ending candidates before scanning rarer endings.

The second-letter choice also distinguishes this group from nearby P patterns. Seven-letter P-A words number 482, P-R words 429, and P-O words 398, each above the 367 P-E matches. Familiar PE examples include perfect, perhaps, and perform, but the opening pair does not guarantee a common word.

Which entries score most, and what is the catch?

Pemphix leads the scoring list at 23 points. Pectize and peptize each score 20, while perjury scores 19. Peckish and perplex both reach 18, giving you more recognizable options than the top scorer if your board supports them.

The 299 entries with definitions are not all everyday vocabulary: only 34 meet the common-frequency cutoff. Tournament acceptance also changes by list; Collins covers 357 matches and NWL2023 covers 275. Check your game’s word list before committing to an unfamiliar scorer such as pemphix.

For 7-letter words with P as the 1st letter and E as the 2nd letter, the practical split is familiar vocabulary for solving and unusual high-value entries for scoring. Keep the opening pair fixed, then use the final letter or your game’s dictionary to narrow candidates; the biggest score is not necessarily the likeliest play.

Questions people ask

How many of these P-E words are common?

There are 34 common entries, using the top-25,000 English-word frequency cutoff. Familiar examples include perfect, perhaps, percent, and penguin. The remaining matches include many less frequent tournament words, so an everyday guess represents only part of the group.

What is the most common last letter in this pattern?

S is the most common last letter, appearing on 123 matches. E is next with 52, followed by G with 33. Peoples, permits, and peppers are examples of the S-ending group, which is the first branch to check when your final letter is still unknown.

Which P-E word has the highest Scrabble score?

Pemphix has the highest listed Scrabble score at 23 points. Pectize and peptize each score 20, and perjury scores 19. The leading scorer is an uncommon choice, so check your game’s dictionary before spending a turn on it.
