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

This pattern fixes Y in the second slot and E at the end, leaving five positions to narrow your search. Familiar options include HYGIENE, SYRINGE, and HYDRATE, but the group also has specialist terms such as KYANITE and SYNTYPE. Only 4 entries rank among the most common English words, so expect plenty of unfamiliar forms.

How many 7-letter words fit this Y-and-E pattern?

There are 64 qualifying words, a much tighter group than the 528 words with E in the second position and E at the end. That contrast makes the fixed Y especially useful when you are filtering a rack or checking a pattern, but it also means you have fewer familiar choices.

S leads the starting-letter counts with 14 words, followed by C with 12 and H with 10. Examples show the spread: SYRINGE and SYNAPSE begin with S, CYCLONE and CYANIDE with C, and HYGIENE and HYDRIDE with H. Start-letter clues can quickly separate these clusters.

• S begins 14 matches, more than any other starting letter in this group.
• C starts 12 words, including CYCLONE and CYANIDE.
• H starts 10 words, including HYGIENE and HYDRIDE.

Which matching words are worth checking?

For a familiar word, try HYGIENE, CYCLONE, or HYDRATE; for a higher tile score, MYTHIZE leads at 24 points. KYANIZE and CYCLIZE each score 23, though those less familiar forms are easy to overlook. The top scorer is not necessarily the easiest play: check that its spelling fits your rack and board.

Only 4 matches rank among the most common English words; 48 have a definition available. Many remaining entries are uncommon, so a valid-looking arrangement is not proof that your game accepts it. Check your game's word list when a move depends on an unfamiliar term.

• MYTHIZE leads the scoring list at 24 points.
• KYANIZE and CYCLIZE each score 23 points.
• HYDRIDE and SYNTYPE each score 15 points.
