7-letter words with B as the 2nd letter and L as the 4th letter

The pattern is _B_L___, and it produces a compact set rather than a broad pool: only 16 tournament-dictionary entries fit. ABILITY and ABOLISH are readable choices; other matches include OBELISK, ABELIAN, and OBELIZE. Collins includes all 16, while ENABLE and NWL2023 each include 12.

7-letter words with B as the 2nd letter and L as the 4th letter

• Only 2 matches rank among the top 25,000 English words by wordfreq frequency.

Which words fit this letter pattern?

ABILITY and ABOLISH stand out as readable options, while OBELISK is another recognizable match. The frequency measure marks just 2 of the 16 as common, so most of the set is less familiar everyday vocabulary.

The first-letter split is unusually tight: 8 matches start with A and 7 with O, leaving only 1 that starts with E. The A group includes ABILITY, ABOLISH, ABALONE, and ABELIAN; O contributes OBELISK, OBELIZE, OBELIAS, OBELION, OBELISM, and OBOLARY.

Endings narrow the search further: 5 words finish in S and 4 in E, while N and Y each account for 2. After fixing B and L, use the final letter as a filter instead of guessing the first.

Which matches score well in Scrabble?

OBELIZE is the standout at 18 points, 5 more than OBELISK at 13. ABILITY and ABOLISH each score 12, tying OBOLARY; those familiar options are easier to recognize than the top scorer.

For 7-letter words with B as the 2nd letter and L as the 4th letter, dictionary coverage is worth checking before you play.
