7-letter words with B as the 1st letter and R as the 5th letter

The pattern is B _ _ _ R _ _, and its results range from familiar words such as BLURRED to unusual entries such as BOSTRYX. Only 2 of the matches rank among the most frequent English words, so this is a clue-solving list, not a set of everyday vocabulary. The counts include words accepted by at least one tournament dictionary.

At a glance: B words with R in the fifth spot

• The pattern returns 71 words across the tournament dictionaries.

• BIZARRE and BLURRED are recognizable examples; BOSTRYX is among the more unusual entries.

• The average score is 12 points, but the leading scores reach 19.

Which endings appear most often?

Words ending in S lead the visible ending groups: 25 matches finish that way, compared with 11 ending in D. That makes plurals and other S-final forms a productive place to check when your last tile is fixed.

The examples show very different word shapes. BISTROS and BOLEROS end in S, while BLURRED ends in D; BIZARRE ends in E. Keep the fifth letter fixed, then use known final letters to narrow the candidates.

Dictionary overlap matters: 68 matches appear in Collins, but only 53 appear in NWL2023. The full set is not a promise that every word will play in your game, and many entries are obscure; check your game's word list before committing.
