7-letter words with T second and A fifth: key facts
- 31 tournament-dictionary words fit the pattern, with T second and A fifth.
- STORAGE, STOMACH, and ATTRACT are familiar examples; each starts with S or A.
- 18 entries start with S, while seven start with A; E, I, and P contribute two each.
- ATARAXY tops the scoring list at 17 points; the unusual spelling STOMACK scores 15.
Which endings appear most often?
E and S tie as the most frequent final letters, with eight words apiece. Five end in T, while A and Y each finish three. Only one word ends in each of D, H, and K, so a known final letter can quickly narrow a solve.
The six common entries sit among a mostly less-familiar group: 26 of the 31 words have a definition lexicon. The common group uses frequency among the top 25,000 English words. Check your game's word list before relying on a less familiar entry, since tournament dictionaries do not match exactly.
How to work with this T-second, A-fifth pattern
Start by testing the first letter: S accounts for 18 matches, far more than any other opening. Then use the last letter. An E or S ending points to one of the two largest groups, while a final K leaves just one candidate.
For a familiar anchor, try STORAGE or STOMACH; both begin ST and place A in the fifth slot. If you are playing for points rather than recognition, ATARAXY leads at 17, but it is a much less familiar choice. The 9.9-point average is a reminder that one standout score does not describe every entry.
