The pattern has a narrow pool: just 38 words qualify across the tournament dictionaries. SYNERGY and TYPESET are familiar choices, but only one entry falls among the top 25,000 English words by frequency. That makes this a clue-first list, not a set of everyday vocabulary; dictionary coverage also differs by game.

At a glance: 38 matches and uneven coverage

  • All 38 entries have Y in position two and E in position four.
  • Collins includes 37 matches; NWL2023 includes 30.
  • ENABLE includes 26 of the pattern matches.
  • Only one entry ranks among the top 25,000 English words by frequency.
  • SYNERGY and TYPESET are more recognizable examples than BYNEMPT or BYREMAN.

How do 7-letter words with Y second and E fourth begin and end?

H and P lead the pack: seven words start with each letter. M and S follow with four apiece, while B and G each begin three matches. PYREXIA, PYRETIC, and PYREXIC show how often P appears in this pattern.

S is the most common final letter, ending 15 entries; A comes next with six, and C with five. Those endings can narrow a rack or crossing clue quickly. Don’t assume every match ending in S is a familiar plural: XYLENES and GYRENES are in the set too.

  • H and P tie as the most common first letters, with seven matches each.
  • M and S start four words apiece; B and G start three each.
  • S ends 15 matches, while A ends six and C ends five.

Which matches score highest in Scrabble?

ZYDECOS leads the Scrabble scores at 22 points, followed by PYREXIC at 21. PYREXIA and PYREXES each score 19, while RYPECKS reaches 18. These scores make the less familiar spellings worth checking when a rack offers a strong Z or X play.

Most of the 38 entries are uncommon, and dictionary coverage is not universal: Collins has 37, but ENABLE has 26. Check your game's word list before relying on a marginal entry. For 7-letter words with Y as the 2nd letter and E as the 4th letter, knowing the exact pattern matters more than guessing from ordinary vocabulary.

  • ZYDECOS tops the scores at 22 points, with PYREXIC next at 21.
  • PYREXIA and PYREXES each score 19; RYPECKS scores 18.
  • Collins accepts 37 matches, compared with 26 in ENABLE.
