This narrow pattern has 13 tournament-dictionary entries, and none ranks among the common words tracked by Word Puzzle Answers. The list includes YARDMAN, YUKATAS, and YASHMAK, but many entries are uncommon. Lock in Y and A first; then use the remaining letters to test candidates rather than relying on familiar vocabulary.

The pattern at a glance

  • Exactly 13 seven-letter entries start with Y and place A in position six.
  • Seven words end in S, making S the most frequent final letter in this group.
  • Four words end in N; the remaining endings are C and K, one word each.
  • YASHMAK and YAQONAS lead the scoring list at 19 points apiece.
  • YAKHDAN scores 18, just below the two top scorers.

Which entries fit the clue and score well?

The 13 matches include YASHMAK, YAQONAS, YAKHDAN, and YOJANAS. The dictionary split is uneven: Collins includes all 13, while ENABLE includes eight and NWL2023 includes nine. Check your game's word list before playing a less familiar match.

For a scoring target, start with YASHMAK or YAQONAS at 19 points each; YAKHDAN follows at 18. YOJANAS and YASHMAC each score 17. A practical clue-solving move is to keep the sixth-slot A fixed and test the ending: seven candidates take S, compared with four taking N.

  • Collins includes all 13 matches.
  • ENABLE includes eight words, while NWL2023 includes nine.
  • YASHMAK and YAQONAS tie at 19 points; YAKHDAN scores 18.

7-letter words with Y as the 1st letter and A as the 6th letter

The word shapes are more varied than the fixed letters suggest. YARDMAN and YEGGMAN end in N, while YASHMAC ends in C and YASHMAK ends in K. Those paired forms make the final consonant a useful discriminator when the middle letters are uncertain.

Only 11 of the 13 entries have definitions set, and none falls in its common-word group. Treat this as a constraint-matching list, not a vocabulary shortlist: YATAGAN and YUKATAS are also valid matches, but familiarity alone will not narrow the pattern much.

  • YARDMAN and YEGGMAN both end in N.
  • YASHMAC ends in C, while YASHMAK ends in K.
  • YATAGAN and YUKATAS also match the fixed Y _ _ _ _ A _ pattern.
