Which words fit the W___A__ pattern?

WELFARE, WARRANT, and WARFARE are recognizable options; WEBPAGE, WETLAND, and WEBCAST fit the same letter frame. Each begins with W and places A fifth, while the remaining positions vary.

Collins accepts 62 matches, NWL2023 accepts 45, and ENABLE accepts 37; these dictionary groups overlap, so their counts do not add to 64. Definitions are available for 49 entries, but tournament validity does not make every word familiar. Check your game's word list before playing an obscure candidate.

How can you narrow the pattern or score more?

A confirmed final letter narrows the field: 20 matches end in S, 18 in E, and 9 in D. The remaining endings occur less often.

WAYBACK tops the score list at 21 points; WEAZAND and WHYDAHS each score 20, followed by WAYMARK at 19. The highest values belong to less familiar words, so check acceptance before building a play around one. WAYBACK is the standout to remember when the board rewards a high-scoring entry.
