Use ? for unknowns

Only five words put E second and Z third, and two of them double that Z.

BEZEL Is the One EZ Word in Common Use

A bezel is the rim that holds a watch face or a gemstone in place, and phone screens brought the word back into everyday speech. BEZIL is a variant spelling of exactly the same thing.

A Doubled Z Sits at the Heart of the EZ Group

FEZZY and MEZZO both carry a ZZ, which is two of the five. A doubled Z is rare in English at any length, and finding two of them on a page this small is unusual.

MEZZO is the one most readers know, from mezzo soprano, the voice sitting between soprano and contralto. FEZZY describes something resembling a fez, and FEZES is that hat's plural.

  • BEZEL
  • MEZZO
  • FEZES
  • BEZIL
  • FEZZY

Three letters open these five, with B and F taking two each and M the last. Once E and Z are placed, the opening letter is nearly the whole puzzle.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is BEZEL or MEZZO the likelier answer

BEZEL, since it turns up in ordinary writing about watches, rings and phone screens. MEZZO is well known but stays inside music.

How do BEZEL and BEZIL differ

They are two spellings of the same word and both are valid. BEZEL is far commoner in modern use.

What does FEZZY mean

Resembling or relating to a fez, the flat topped brimless hat. It is rare and turns up mainly in word lists.

Why is a doubled Z so unusual

Z is the least used letter in English, so a word carrying two of them is rare. Most that do arrived from Italian, as MEZZO did.

What is a mezzo soprano

A singing voice pitched between soprano and contralto. Mezzo simply means half in Italian.
