That fixed pattern produces a small, specialized group rather than an everyday word list. Names such as HYPOXIA, MYELOMA, and DYSPNEA stand out among the matches, but none counts as common by our frequency measure. The score spread is striking too: ZYZZYVA sits well above the group average.

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

  • Every match has Y in position two and A in position seven; the pattern yields 28 words.
  • H and M tie as the most frequent first letters, with six matches apiece.
  • P begins five entries; C and S begin three each.
  • Collins includes 27 matches, NWL2023 includes 24, and ENABLE includes 22.
  • The average score is 15.6, while ZYZZYVA leads the scoring list at 43.

Which matches score the most?

ZYZZYVA leads at 43 points, followed by HYPOXIA at 22. PYXIDIA scores 20 and PYREXIA scores 19, so those are the next entries to check when tile value matters.

HYGROMA, HYDROMA, HYPOGEA, and PYSANKA each score 16. The top score is an outlier; don't assume the other Y-second words offer the same scoring punch.

A high tile total still depends on placement. Keep ZYZZYVA in mind when the board opens a scoring lane, but use the exact pattern to confirm that every letter fits.

How can you narrow the pattern quickly?

The first letter offers a useful filter: H and M each account for six matches, P contributes five, and C and S contribute three apiece. D begins two; G and T begin one each. If your rack points toward H, M, or P, start with those larger groups.

The 7-letter words with Y as the 2nd letter and A as the 7th letter are specialist entries, not common guesses; none is counted as common, and just 25 words have Y second and C last. Check your game's word list before playing an unfamiliar word.
