7-letter words with B as the 1st letter and E as the 4th letter

The pattern gives you B at the start and E in the middle, leaving five positions to narrow down from your rack or puzzle clues. Familiar options include BENEFIT, BENEATH, and BRIEFLY, but most matches are less common: just 7 qualify as common words. The list draws on tournament dictionaries, whose coverage differs.

7-letter words with B as the 1st letter and E as the 4th letter

• 109 words match the B-first, E-fourth pattern across the tournament dictionaries.
• Only 7 matches are common; BENEFIT, BENEATH, and BRIEFLY are recognizable starting points.
• Collins includes 107 matches, compared with 83 in NWL2023 and 77 in ENABLE.
• The average Scrabble score is 12.1 points before board bonuses.

Which endings appear most often?

Words ending in S lead by a wide margin: 32 of the matches finish that way. BREEZES, BUREAUS, and BEJESUS show how varied those S endings can be.

D is the next most frequent final letter, with 12 matches; BREEDER and BRIEFED are examples. L follows with 11, including BALeful and BEVELED. Keep the ending clue in play after you lock in the first and fourth letters.

Eight matches end in E, while seven each end in N or R. Those smaller groups make a useful second filter when the board or crossing letters rule out the S-heavy set.

Which matches score highest in Scrabble?

BREEZED, BIKEWAY, BLUEJAY, and BEJEWEL each score 19 points before premium squares. Their J, K, or Z tiles do the heavy lifting, so look for a safe placement that puts a high-value letter on a bonus square.

BREEZES scores 18, while BUREAUX, BEJESUS, BASENJI, BATEAUX, and BEDECKS each reach 16. That spread puts several unusual spellings near the top; verify a word in your game's dictionary before spending a turn on it.

The practical limitation is frequency: only 7 words in this pattern are common, even though 92 matches have definitions. For a rack-first search, try BENEFIT or BENEATH before relying on obscure high scorers.
