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

The fixed letters leave five open slots, but the dictionary split is tight: Collins accepts all 16 matches, while ENABLE and NWL2023 each accept 13. ABUSIVE and OBESITY stand out as recognizable words; ABUSION and ABASERS are less familiar. Only four entries count as common, so expect many specialist forms alongside everyday vocabulary.
