This pattern has a familiar face: workers, weapons, windows and writers all fit, but the list is far from all everyday vocabulary. Just 21 entries meet the common-word cutoff, so a pattern match may still be unfamiliar. Dictionary coverage also varies: Collins includes more of these words than NWL2023 or ENABLE.

At a glance: familiar words and a standout score

  • 308 words begin with W and finish with S.
  • Only 21 entries are tagged as common.
  • Collins includes 298; NWL2023 includes 227.
  • WHIZZES leads the listed Scrabble scores at 31 points.
  • Workers, weapons and windows are recognizable examples.

7-letter words with W as the 1st letter and S as the 7th letter

The exact pattern matches 308 words. That total is much smaller than the 1,157 words beginning with S and ending with S, so the opening W is the tighter constraint in that comparison.

The final S does not mean every entry is a plural. Workers, winners and wallets are plural nouns, while whereas and witness show that the same ending appears in other word forms. Check the middle letters before assuming a match is a plural.

  • All 308 matches end in S, but not all are plurals.
  • Workers, winners and wallets are plural examples.
  • Whereas and witness show other forms ending in S.

Which W-first, S-last words score highest?

WHIZZES tops the Scrabble scores at 31 points. WIZZENS and WUZZLES each reach 28, while WHEEZES scores 22. Those totals make the unusual letter combinations stand out; the more familiar WIZARDS still scores 20.

The dictionary totals are not interchangeable: Collins lists 298 matches, compared with 227 in NWL2023 and 208 in ENABLE. For these 7-letter words with W as the 1st letter and S as the 7th letter, check your game's word list before relying on an unfamiliar entry.

  • WHIZZES scores 31 points, the highest listed total.
  • WIZZENS and WUZZLES each score 28 points.
  • WIZARDS scores 20, despite being more familiar.
