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

Only 21 tournament-dictionary entries match this fixed pattern, and none falls in our common-word group. Most begin with A, while the endings cluster around S and D. That small, uneven set makes the next known tile more useful than broad guessing: lock the first or final letter, then scan the matching branch.

The pattern at a glance

• Exactly 21 tournament-dictionary words fit B in slot two and U in slot four.
• Fourteen begin with A, six with O, and just one with E.
• Nine end in S; five end in D, while R and T each close two.
• ABJURED and OBJURED lead the scoring list at 17 points apiece.

Where do these seven-letter words begin and end?

The opening split is lopsided: A accounts for 14 of the 21 matches, while O supplies six and E only one. The pattern is unusually tight beside its E-second sibling, which has 232 words. When B is fixed in slot two, test A as the opening letter first; it is the largest branch, though not a guarantee of a familiar answer.

S closes nine candidates, including abounds, abducts, abjures, absurds, abduces, and objures; D closes five, including abjured and abduced. R and T have two each, while A, C, and E appear once apiece. Check S early, but keep D in play when the board confirms it.

How to use 7-letter words with B second and U fourth

ABJURED and OBJURED score 17; ABJURES, ABJURER, and OBJURES each reach 16. EBAUCHE scores 14, while ABDUCED and ABOUGHT both score 13. The average is 12.2, yet none of these entries ranks as common in the frequency data.

For a rack or board search, try the A-starting candidates first, then compare S and D endings with confirmed tiles. ABJURED fits when the final letter is D; ABJURES keeps the high-value J while ending in S. Collins has all 21 matches, while ENABLE and NWL2023 each list 15, so check your game's word list before committing to a less familiar form such as aboulia or obtunds.
