Every match puts Z in the same middle position and ends with A, but the beginnings vary: three start with B, two each with G, M, and Z, and one with F. BAZOOKA and MAZURKA are familiar-looking options; ZYZZYVA is the standout scorer. None of the 10 ranks as common vocabulary, so expect some specialist entries among the results.

7-letter words with Z as the 3rd letter and A as the 7th letter

  • The pattern has 10 matches, and every one ends in A.

  • Nine of the 10 entries have definitions, while none ranks as common vocabulary.

Which matching word scores the most?

ZYZZYVA scores 43 points, far ahead of ZIZANIA at 25. BAZOOKA, MAZURKA, and BUZUKIA each score 22, so the more recognizable choices still bring strong totals.

The average score across the pattern is 22.9. That unusually high figure reflects the repeated Z: ZYZZYVA uses two Zs, while words such as FAZENDA and BIZNAGA also place a Z in the required third slot. Check the board before committing a high-value tile; a score depends on where the word lands.

  • ZYZZYVA scores 43 points.
  • ZIZANIA scores 25, the second-highest total.
  • BAZOOKA, MAZURKA, and BUZUKIA each score 22.

Why every match finishes with A

The final A is fixed, but the first letter is not: B leads with three matches, while G, M, and Z each lead two. FAZENDA is the sole F-starter. This uneven spread makes the starting letter a quick way to narrow the 10 candidates.

Only 10 7-letter words with Z as the 3rd letter and A as the 7th letter appear across these tournament dictionaries, compared with 107 words when the same Z position ends in S. Collins accepts all 10 here, but NWL2023 and ENABLE each accept only eight. Confirm your game's word list before playing a less familiar choice such as GAZOOKA or BUZUKIA.

  • All 10 matches end in A.
  • Three begin with B: BAZOOKA, BIZNAGA, and BUZUKIA.
  • FAZENDA is the only F-starter.
