7-letter words with B as the 1st letter and K as the 6th letter

The pattern is B _ _ _ _ K _: B stays in position one, K in position six, and four letters fill the middle. The set is small beside nearby patterns, and most entries are uncommon. BESPOKE is a recognizable example; BAZOOKA, BRITZKA, and BAZOUKI lead the Scrabble scores. Dictionary coverage also varies, so check your game's word list before playing an unfamiliar entry.

Which words fit the B-and-K pattern?

BESPOKE spells out the pattern clearly: B begins the word, K sits sixth, and E closes it. BOXLIKE and BREWSKI show different middle-letter combinations while keeping those two fixed positions.

The ending counts reveal a rare split: E and S each finish 13 words. The remaining endings are A on four words, I on two, and U on one. That leaves just seven entries ending in those three vowels combined.

K in position six is a tight filter for B-starting words. The matching B-first pattern with E in position six has 740 entries, compared with 33 here. If your clue fixes the sixth letter, don't substitute a more common position by mistake.
