7-letter words with W as the 2nd letter and E as the 3rd letter

This fixed-letter pattern has a distinctive start: 29 matches begin with S, while 15 begin with T. Familiar entries include AWESOME and SWEATER, but the full group also reaches words such as QWERTYS and GWEDUCK. Counts include words accepted by at least one of Collins, NWL2023, or ENABLE, so the totals can differ by game dictionary.

The dictionary counts are not interchangeable: Collins includes 50 matches, NWL2023 has 36, and ENABLE has 32. The 51-word combined total is a union, not a promise that every entry works in every game. Check the word list your game uses before playing an unfamiliar form such as GWEDUCK.
