The pattern fixes two positions but leaves five letters open, and only 25 tournament-dictionary words fit. CYCLIST, CYPRESS, and GYMNAST are among the more recognizable examples; TYCHISM and MYTHISM lead the scoring list. Most entries are less familiar, so use the pattern to narrow a puzzle before relying on everyday vocabulary.

The pattern at a glance

  • Twenty-five tournament-dictionary entries have Y second and S sixth.
  • Only 2 matches meet our common-word frequency measure.
  • Collins lists 25 matches, compared with 15 in NWL2023 and 14 in ENABLE.
  • TYCHISM and MYTHISM tie for the top tile score at 17 points; EYEWASH scores 16.
  • Nine matches end in T, while eight end in E.

Which letters start and end these matches?

C and M lead the first-letter group with five words each. H starts four; E and T start three apiece. G appears twice, while D and K each start one match.

That spread makes the opening letter a useful second filter when your rack or clue rules out a group.

The final letter is more concentrated: T closes nine words and E closes eight. H and M each appear at the end of three matches, and S closes two. For comparison, the same seven-letter pattern with A second has 317 matches, while O second has 248.

  • Five matches start with C, and five start with M.
  • H starts four matches; E and T each start three.
  • Nine matches end in T, compared with eight ending in E.

7-letter words with Y as the 2nd letter and S as the 6th letter

For a quick recognition check, start with CYCLIST, CYPRESS, GYMNAST, EYEWASH, and SYNAPSE. The less familiar options include CYCLASE, HYDRASE, and TYCHISM. Only 2 entries qualify as common by our frequency measure, so an unfamiliar-looking answer is not automatically a bad fit.

TYCHISM and MYTHISM both score 17 points, with EYEWASH next at 16. Those are strong tile-score targets, but a high base score does not guarantee the best board play: consider where the word lands and confirm your game accepts it. Collins includes all 25 matches, while NWL2023 includes 15; check your game's word list before committing to an uncommon entry.

  • CYCLIST, CYPRESS, and GYMNAST are recognizable examples.
  • TYCHISM and MYTHISM each score 17 points.
  • Only 2 matches meet the common-word frequency measure.
