With only 10 matches, this is a tight clue set rather than a broad word bank. Five entries begin with D, while four end in G; none falls within the common-word frequency range. MISYOKE and DISYOKE lead the tile-score list, but several matches are specialized vocabulary, so treat the pattern as a clue filter, not a familiar-word list.

  • Collins lists all 10 matches; ENABLE and NWL2023 list five each.

Which matches score most in Scrabble?

MISYOKE tops the tile-score ranking at 16, ahead of DISYOKE at 15 and DASYPOD at 14. Those leaders start with M, D, and D, so the highest scores do not simply follow the set’s D-heavy opening pattern.

BUSYING, COSYING, ROSYING, and EASYING form a recognizable -YING group, and all four end in G. That makes G the largest final-letter group, but it does not make the full set easy: none of the matches is common by the frequency measure.

Collins contains all 10 matches, while ENABLE and NWL2023 each contain five. Those source totals need not represent separate groups of words, so check your game’s dictionary before relying on an unfamiliar entry.

Can one of these words earn a bingo bonus?

Tip

Lock S-Y into slots three and four, then test the endings: G covers four options, while E, D, and S cover six combined.

How many words have S third and Y fourth in a seven-letter word?
There are 10 matches across the tournament dictionaries counted here. Collins contains all 10; ENABLE lists five and NWL2023 lists five. Those are source totals, not necessarily separate sets, so do not add the North American counts to infer a distinct-word total.
What is the highest-scoring word in this pattern?
MISYOKE scores 16 tile points, the highest total among these matches. DISYOKE follows at 15, then DASYPOD at 14. Those are tile scores before premium-square or bingo bonuses, so board placement can change the final turn value.
Are any of these S-Y pattern words common?
None of the 10 matches falls within the common-word frequency range. BUSYING, COSYING, ROSYING, and EASYING share a visible ending, but several other options are specialized entries. Check your game dictionary before relying on an unfamiliar form.
