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

The fixed pattern is B _ _ S _ _ _: B starts each word, and S lands in the fourth slot. The 147 matches range from everyday terms such as BRISTOL and BLOSSOM to less familiar tournament entries. Just 13 rank among the top 25,000 English words by wordfreq frequency, so a pattern match is not always a word you will recognize.

7-letter words with B first and S fourth

• All 147 matches start with B, with S fixed in position four.
• Only 13 matches rank among the top 25,000 English words by wordfreq frequency.
• S is the most common final letter, ending 32 of these words.
• BLESSED, BRISTOL, BLOSSOM, and BOOSTER are recognizable examples.
• BUQSHAS scores 21 points; BEESWAX is next at 19.

Which endings are most common in this pattern?

Final S leads with 32 words. R comes next with 21, followed by D with 20 and E with 18. That makes plural-looking or verb-form endings a productive place to check when your last tile is uncertain: BRUSHES, BLUSHES, and BRISTLES fit the pattern.

Several familiar examples are inflected forms rather than basic dictionary forms: BRUSHED and BLASTED end in D, while BRUSHES and BLUSHES end in S. The less common entries still matter in word games, but only 13 matches fall within the stated common-word group. Treat recognition as a clue, not a reliable test of whether your game accepts a word.
