The opening TA narrows the search to 385 seven-letter entries, but the set ranges from everyday terms such as TALKING, TALENTS, and TABLETS to specialist vocabulary. Only 24 are in the common-word group, so a recognizable spelling is not a guarantee of tournament acceptance. The average tile score is 10.1, with a few letter-heavy exceptions far above it.

Pattern facts at a glance

There are 385 matching words, and 308 have definitions.
TALKING, TARGETS, TACTICS, and TALENTS are familiar examples.
Only 24 matches count as common words, so many entries are specialist or uncommon.
The average tile score is 10.1; TAXIWAY and TALKBOX each score 20.

Which examples and endings narrow the set?

The final letter S appears on 152 of the 385 words, making it the clearest ending pattern. E follows at 31, then G at 30; D and R each close 28 entries.

TALKING, TASTING, and TANGLED show how much the middle letters can vary after TA. For a clue with a known last letter, check that position too: an S ending is far more common here than an E ending.

The everyday examples do not represent every entry. TAXEMIC and TAXPAID are less familiar spellings, and only 24 words belong to the common-word group.

A practical clue check

For 7-letter words with T first and A second, TAXIWAY and TALKBOX lead at 20 points before board premiums. Their X and other high-value tiles beat routine plays such as TALKING.

TACKIFY and TAXABLY score 19 points each.
TAXICAB and TAXYING are 18-point options.
TAKEOFF scores 17, with the F supplying much of its punch.

Questions people ask

What familiar words match this letter pattern?

Recognizable matches include TALKING, TARGETS, TACTICS, TALENTS, TABLETS, and TATTOOS. TAXEMIC and TAXPAID are less routine. Only 24 entries fall in the common-word group, so the opening TA does not guarantee that every result will look familiar.

Which match scores highest in this group?

TAXIWAY and TALKBOX tie for the top pre-board score at 20 points. The board position changes the practical value of that score, and your game’s dictionary decides validity.

Are most matches everyday vocabulary?

No. Just 24 of the 385 words are classified as common, while examples such as TAXEMIC and TAXPAID are less familiar. Check unfamiliar spellings against your game’s own word list.
