A fixed Y in the third position and E at the end narrow the search to 77 words. The results range from everyday choices such as ANYMORE and DAYTIME to less familiar entries like AZYMITE. Their scores and dictionary coverage vary, so the right pick depends on the puzzle or game.

- The pattern contains 77 tournament-dictionary words, with E fixed in the final position.
- S leads as the first letter with 16 matches; A follows with 9, then D with 7.
- Only 7 entries rank among the 25,000 most frequent English words; ANYMORE and DAYTIME are familiar examples.

7-letter words with Y as the 3rd letter and E as the 7th letter
There are 77 matches, far fewer than the 349 words with R in position three and E at the end. That contrast makes the Y slot a strong filter: keep Y fixed, then check the other letters against the word pattern.
Seven entries meet the common-word frequency cutoff. ANYMORE, ANYTIME, DAYTIME, and KEYNOTE are among the recognizable options, while many other matches are less familiar. The dictionary counts also differ: Collins has 73, NWL2023 has 55, and ENABLE has 47.
Those totals overlap, so they are not separate groups to add together.
S begins 16 of the matches, more than any other starting letter in the recorded leaders. This gives you a useful narrowing clue, but it is not a rule: 61 words start with something other than S. The remaining first-letter counts include A with 9 and D with 7.
- Y is fixed in position three, and E is fixed in position seven.
- ANYTIME and KEYNOTE are recognizable matches for the pattern.
- Collins includes 73 matches, while ENABLE includes 47.
Which words score well, and what is the catch?
For a familiar starting point, compare ANYMORE, ANYTIME, DAYTIME, and KEYNOTE: each fits the same fixed positions but uses different surrounding letters. Then consider the less everyday scoring options, such as AZYMITE. Check your game’s word list before committing to an unfamiliar play.
- AZYMITE scores 21 points, the highest score for this pattern.
- KAYFABE, STYLIZE, JOYANCE, OXYSOME, and SKYHOME each score 19.
- SKYDIVE and JOYRIDE each score 18 while keeping Y third and E last.
- A high score does not guarantee acceptance in your game; dictionary coverage varies, especially for rarer entries.
