7-letter words with S as the 2nd letter and T as the 7th letter

The pattern is exact: every match has S in position two and ends in T. ASSAULT and ASPHALT are among the more recognizable entries, but only two words in this group rank among the 25,000 most common English words. Treat the rest as a word-game search, not an everyday vocabulary list.

7-letter words with S as the 2nd letter and T as the 7th letter

• There are 18 matches, and all end in T.
• The first letters vary: 8 begin with A, while 4 begin with I.
• Only 2 matches fall within the top 25,000 English words by frequency.
• ASQUINT leads the Scrabble scoring examples at 16 points.
• Collins lists 18 matches; ENABLE and NWL2023 list 11 each.

Why is the group so small?

The ending T is fixed, and the second-letter S narrows the search further: just 18 words meet both conditions. Compare that with 308 seven-letter words having A in the second position and T at the end. The difference makes this a tight pattern clue, not a broad word family.

A begins 8 of the matches, more than any other first letter; I comes next with 4. That distribution points you toward ASSAULT, ASPHALT, and ASQUINT before less familiar options such as ISODONT or ISSUANT. The full set includes 15 words with definitions.

Score the unusual consonants

ASQUINT scores 16 Scrabble points, ahead of PSCHENT at 14 and ISOHYET at 13. The Q gives ASQUINT its edge, so check for a premium square before spending the word; the score is the base value, not a board total.

ASPHALT and ESCHEAT each score 12, while ASSAULT is a recognizable lower-scoring alternative. Dictionary coverage also varies: all 18 appear in Collins, but ENABLE and NWL2023 each include 11. Check your game's word list before playing an unfamiliar entry.
