6-letter words with B as the 4th letter and R as the 6th letter

The pattern is _ _ _ B _ R: B sits in position four, and R closes each word. MEMBER, RUBBER, and TIMBER are familiar examples; JOBBER and JABBER lead the scoring list. All 68 entries appear in at least one of ENABLE, Collins, or NWL2023, so acceptance can differ by game dictionary.

• 68 words fit the six-letter pattern, with B fourth and R last.
• 10 entries count as common by the site’s English-frequency measure.
• D leads as a first letter with 9 words; B follows with 8, then L with 7.

• 57 of the 68 words have definitions available.

Which words stand out in this pattern?

MEMBER, RUBBER, HARBOR, and TIMBER make this pattern easier to scan: each is a recognizable word with the same B-R ending. BOMBER, BARBER, LUMBER, and ROBBER are other familiar choices. The less everyday entries sit alongside them, so a quick visual match does not guarantee that a word will be accepted in your game.

The opening letters are more varied than the fixed ending suggests. D starts the largest group, with 9 matches, while B starts 8 and L starts 7. That makes D a better first-letter check than guessing that most words begin with B just because B is the required interior letter.

How should you use these words in a game?

JOBBER, JABBER, JIBBER, and JAMBER top the Scrabble scores at 17 points each; the J supplies the scoring edge. FIBBER, YABBER, HOBBER, and FABBER each score 13, while MEMBER scores 12. These are tile-point comparisons, so a board square can change the final play score.

A practical limitation: the 68 6-letter words with B as the 4th letter and R as the 6th letter are not all shared across tournament dictionaries. Check your game's word list before committing to an unfamiliar entry such as JAMBER or COMBER. The common-word count is only 10, so many matches are unlikely to come to mind during ordinary play.
