5-letter words with R as the 4th letter and R as the 5th letter

A double R in the final two spaces makes this a narrow pattern: every match ends in RR, and just one of the 12 words is common. STARR and WHIRR are the most recognizable examples, while CHARR, GNARR, and CHIRR fill out the opening-letter groups. Ten entries have definitions, but that does not make them equally familiar.

RR pattern at a glance

• The pattern has 12 five-letter matches, and all finish with RR.
• S starts four entries; C starts three, while five other initials appear once each.
• Collins accepts all 12; NWL2023 accepts eight and ENABLE accepts seven.
• All 12 are allowed Wordle guesses, but none are Wordle answers.

Which 5-letter words have R in the last two places?

WHIRR is the top scorer at 11 points. CHARR, CHIRR, CHURR, and MHORR each score 10, while SKIRR and KNURR score nine. Those base values make the less familiar entries worth checking when a board gives you a premium square.

The opening letters narrow the choices quickly. STARR, SMIRR, SKIRR, and SHIRR account for the four S words; CHARR, CHIRR, and CHURR form the C group. WHIRR is the only W entry, so a W in the first slot points to one answer in this set.

The average score is 8.6, but that does not mean every entry plays alike. SMIRR scores seven, while WHIRR leads at 11; a letter bonus can make the gap matter even more. Check the exact word before building a play around an unfamiliar form.

How to use 5-letter words with R as the 4th and 5th letters

For a word game, treat the doubled ending as a constraint rather than a hint that the answer is familiar. Only one match counts as common, and the set includes unusual forms such as MHORR, FLURR, and KNURR. Check your game's word list before relying on a rare entry.

Wordle players can test any of these as a guess, but none belongs to the answer list. That makes the pattern more useful for narrowing a guess than predicting a solution. In Scrabble, WHIRR has the highest base score; the other entries score from seven to 10.

Dictionary support differs by game: Collins includes every match, while NWL2023 and ENABLE include fewer. A word accepted in one list may not be accepted in another, so confirm the rules for your game before playing a low-frequency option.
