How many 7-letter words have B third and R sixth?

There are 71 matches. That is far fewer than the 315 words with N third and R sixth, or the 231 with A third and R sixth. The narrow count makes this pattern a useful filter when a puzzle gives you both letter positions.

The last letter is the clearest grouping clue: 38 words end in S, more than half of the matches, while 10 end in Y and 8 end in D. A final S narrows the search sharply, but it does not guarantee a plural; examples such as subvert and onboard show how varied the set is.

The words begin with several letters rather than clustering around B. R leads with 10 matches, D and L have 8 each, and S has 6. Library, robbery, and rubbers show how different the openings can be while the two fixed positions stay put.
