This page shows 418 of the 502 words; the finder lists all of them and can copy them as text.

What is in this list

This list holds 502 words, 0.3% of the 172,634 words this site keeps from the ENABLE word list. Every word here has 7 letters, and they average 7 letters by construction — so the interesting differences are in which letters they use. Of the 16 lists in this group it is the 4th largest: “6 letter words with A” leads with 6,569 and “4 letter words with Q” has the fewest, 16.

Points and vowels

Using this site's letter values, the average word here scores 17.6 points (median 17); words of the same lengths across the whole list average 12.5, so this list runs 5.1 points richer. The top scorers are JUKEBOX (31), WAXWORK (26), JINXING (25), PACKWAX (25). Point for point, JUKEBOX earns the most per letter: 31 points over 7 letters, 4.4 each. X itself is worth 8 points here, which is why so many of these words outscore their length.

Vowels (A, E, I, O, U) make up 40.4% of the letters, against 38% across the whole list. 60 words are more than half vowels. Compared with the whole dictionary, the letter most over-represented here is F: 1.6% of the letters, against 1.2% overall.

How the words are built

X opens 16 words (3.2%), closes 75 and sits inside the other 411. 3 words use it more than once, such as MAXIXES, XEROXED and XEROXES. 45 words have a doubled letter (9%); the most common doubles are LL (12), EE (7), OO (6). The most common three-letter openings are EXP- (25, as in EXPANDS), EXC- (22, as in EXCEEDS), TAX- (15, as in TAXABLE). The most common endings are -XES (36, as in ADDAXES), -XED (25, as in ADMIXED), -BOX (19, as in BANDBOX). 26.7% end in a single S — mostly plurals and verb forms of shorter words.

Word play in this list

The biggest anagram family here is AFFIXER and REAFFIX — 2 words from the same 7 letters. Altogether 19 sets of anagrams sit inside this list, covering 38 words. ANTHRAX is the longest word here that uses only one kind of vowel, ahead of ASPHYXY.

29.1% of these words take an S on the end and stay a word (AFFIXER, ALEXINE and ALLOXAN among them); after S, the most useful end letter is D, which extends 19 words. At the front, P turns 4 words into new ones (REFIXED → PREFIXED); H turns 3 words into new ones (ARUSPEX → HARUSPEX); M turns 3 words into new ones (AXILLAE → MAXILLAE).

Using this list

To narrow it further, open it in the pattern finder: the rule “contains X, has 7 letters” is already filled in, and you can add a length, a fixed letter position or letters to leave out.
