7-letter words with B as the 3rd letter and S as the 5th letter

The pattern is _ _ B _ S _ _, so the fixed letters leave four positions to solve. Only one match is common by the top-25,000 frequency measure. The dictionary totals differ: Collins includes 39 words, NWL2023 includes 30, and ENABLE includes 22, with overlap between lists.

7-letter words with B 3rd and S 5th at a glance

• There are 45 matches for the B-third, S-fifth pattern.

• EMBOSKS and IMBOSKS lead the scores at 15 points each.

Which words fit the B-third, S-fifth pattern?

The first letter gives you a useful way to narrow the 45 matches: E begins 8, R begins 7, and D begins 6. Try familiar candidates such as EMBASSY, BABYSIT, DEBASED, or ROBUSTA against the remaining known tiles.

The pattern also includes less familiar entries such as BABESIA, CUBESAT, and DIBASIC. Only 33 matches have definitions in the available word records, so a valid play may still be unfamiliar. Not every entry appears in every tournament dictionary; check your game's word list before relying on one.

How do these 7-letter words score?

EMBOSKS and IMBOSKS score 15 points before board bonuses, while the recognizable EMBASSY, BABYSIT, and BABYSAT each score 14. That makes the obscure-looking pair worth remembering when a rack or crossing letters reveals the pattern.

The ending is another strong clue: 20 of the 45 words finish in S, but seven finish in D. If the final square is still open, keep both endings in play rather than assuming the pattern must form a plural. For more matches, compare the same B-and-S positions across lengths.
