Exactly 61 tournament-listed words fit this pattern, but dictionary coverage varies: Collins includes all 61, compared with 39 in NWL2023 and 38 in ENABLE. The opening letters narrow the set quickly: 39 entries begin with O and 18 with A. Only two rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency, so expect many specialist forms.
The B-second list at a glance
- Collins accepts all 61 matches; ENABLE has 38 and NWL2023 has 39.
- O-initial words dominate: 39 begin with O, compared with 18 beginning with A.
- Three entries begin with E, and one begins with U.
- A total of 32 end in S, while 11 end in Y.
- Only two meet the common-word frequency threshold, although 55 have dictionary definitions.
Which 13-letter words with B as the 2nd letter score highest?
objectivizing leads the scoring list at 37 points. objectionably and objectivistic each score 29, followed by objectivising and objectivating at 28. These are striking scores, but they are also specialized words rather than everyday rack choices.
Several leaders share the objectiv- sequence, so check the full spelling before committing tiles. objectiveness scores 27, as do objectivities and objectivation. For a more familiar-looking option, objectionable scores 26. The score figures identify letter-value potential, not a guarantee that a word will fit your board or your game's dictionary.
How should you narrow the B-second pattern?
Start by testing whether the word begins OB or AB: those openings account for 39 O-initial and 18 A-initial entries. Then use the ending as a second filter; S and Y together cover 43 of the 61 matches. That combination is more effective than scanning the entire set without a letter pattern.
The count is small beside several neighboring second-letter groups: E has 2,456 thirteen-letter matches, while O has 1,953. Even so, these 61 entries are not interchangeable across tournament lists. Collins has all 61, but ENABLE and NWL2023 include fewer, so check your game's word list before playing a less familiar form.
