7-letter words with W as the 2nd letter and A as the 6th letter

Only 10 tournament-dictionary entries fit this pattern, and none ranks among the 25,000 most common English words. The set is stranger than its tidy letter template suggests: KWANZAS and KWACHAS are high-scoring entries, while AWAYDAY shows the repeated A pattern clearly. Start with the final-letter split to narrow candidates.

The ten matches at a glance

• Exactly 10 tournament-dictionary words put W second and A sixth; all are seven-letter entries.
• G, K, S, and T each begin two matches; A and O begin one each.
• Y is the most common final letter, ending three matches; D, N, and S each end two.
• Collins lists all 10, while NWL2023 lists four and ENABLE lists three.

Which matches score most in Scrabble?

KWANZAS scores 23 points, the highest total in the group; KWACHAS follows at 19. AWAYDAY and TWANKAY tie at 17, so the strongest scores belong to K-led spellings rather than everyday vocabulary.

Across the set, the average score is 15.3; the two leaders sit above the cluster, with three more examples scoring 13 or less: SWAGMAN and OWRELAY each score 13, while SWANPAN scores 12.

Scores alone do not make a safe play. KWANZAS and KWACHAS lead on points, but none of these words ranks among the 25,000 most common English words.

7-letter words with W as the 2nd letter and A as the 6th letter

To search for 7-letter words with W as the 2nd letter and A as the 6th letter, write the pattern as _W___A_. Then sort by final letter: Y accounts for three matches; D, N, and S each account for two; R accounts for one. This is faster than testing all ten spellings from scratch.

Starting letters split neatly too: G, K, S, and T each head two words, while A and O each head one. That means first-letter clues do not favor a single dominant route; use both fixed positions and the ending to narrow your candidates.

Coverage is uneven across game lists: Collins includes all ten, compared with four in NWL2023 and three in ENABLE. That dictionary gap is the practical limitation; confirm the word list before spending a turn on an obscure match.
