7-letter words with B as the 3rd letter and S as the 4th letter

The pattern is __BS___: B occupies the third slot and S the fourth, leaving four positions open. The matches include recognizable words such as WEBSITE, LOBSTER, and SUBSIDY, alongside less familiar forms. Only four qualify as common by the frequency measure, so everyday vocabulary is a small slice of this group.

At a glance, the __BS___ pattern

• 29 tournament-list entries fit the seven-letter pattern.
• Collins includes 28; NWL2023 includes 24; ENABLE includes 20.
• Only 4 meet the common-word frequency cutoff.
• The average score is 11; BOBSTAY and SIBSHIP lead at 14.
• WEBSITE and WEBSTER both score 12, tying two familiar examples.

Which letters appear at the beginning and end?

S leads as the initial letter: 12 matches start with S, while D, M, and W each start 3. B and F begin 2 apiece; A and G contribute 1 each.

SUBSIDY, SUBSETS, SUBSIDE, SUBSIST, SUBSOIL, and SUBSUME make the SUBS cluster easy to spot. Only 2 begin with B, so the fixed B does not predict the first letter.

At the other end, E and R tie at 7 words each; N and S occur 3 times each. That makes a final E or R a sensible check when your puzzle fixes __BS and leaves the last letter unknown. The ending options are concentrated, while the starting letters range from the dominant S to several smaller groups.

What do 7-letter words with B third and S fourth score?

BOBSTAY and SIBSHIP share the top score of 14. SUBSIDY, AMBSACE, MOBSMAN, and MOBSMEN score 13, while WEBSITE, WEBSTER, DUBSTEP, and BOBSLED score 12. Choose an awkward-looking option only when the board placement rewards its letters; a high rack score alone does not guarantee a strong play.

Only 21 of the 29 have definitions available, and just 4 are common by frequency, so unfamiliar entries make up much of the group. Check your game's word list before relying on a rare word. For scale, the same fixed positions with S in the third slot have 271 matches, far more than this B group.
