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

The pattern is narrow: every match starts with B and places P in the penultimate position. Only two entries rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency, so BACKUPS, BAGPIPE, and BISHOPS stand out as the easy ones. Twenty matches have definitions, but that does not make every entry everyday vocabulary.

Which matches score highest in Scrabble?

BACKUPS and BAYWOPS tie at 17 points, the highest scores among these matches. BIMORPH and BYNEMPT follow at 16; BISHOPS, BAGPIPE, BLOWUPS, BIOTYPE, BUNYIPS, and BARHOPS each score 14.

For a scoring scan, start with BACKUPS or BAYWOPS, then check whether BIMORPH or BYNEMPT fits your rack and board. Their high totals make them stand out, but a word’s score alone does not guarantee a strong play; placement still matters.

Several familiar-looking choices sit below the leaders: BISHOPS and BAGPIPE each score 14. The gap between those entries and the two 17-point ties gives you a quick way to compare options when more than one match fits.

Why do so many matches end in S?

Fourteen of the 24 words finish with S, compared with five ending in T, four in E, and one in H. BISHOPS, BACKUPS, and BLOWUPS show the dominant ending; BAGPIPE is one of the E-ending examples.

Use the final letter as a filter when your pattern is incomplete, but do not assume every S-ending answer is an ordinary plural. BUNYIPS and BAYWOPS are less familiar forms, and only two matches are common by frequency.

The counts combine tournament dictionaries rather than describing one universal game list: Collins has 23 matches, NWL2023 has 20, and ENABLE has 17. Check your game’s lexicon before relying on an unfamiliar entry.
