7-letter words with B as the 3rd letter and S as the 6th letter

The S in position six creates several different endings rather than one tidy family. EMBASSY, PUBLISH, RUBBISH, JOBLESS, and WEBCAST all match, yet their final letters range from Y to T. Four entries count as common, which makes familiar examples valuable in a 66-word set.

Quick facts for this S-sixth pattern

• Sixty-six tournament-list entries fit the fixed positions.
• EMBASSY, PUBLISH, RUBBISH, and JOBLESS are recognizable matches.
• Twenty matches end in T and 16 end in H.
• ZEBRASS leads the score rankings at 18 points.
• Four entries fall in the common-word group.

Why does the last letter matter so much?

S at position six does not mean the word ends in S. WEBCAST ends in T, PUBLISH and RUBBISH end in H, and EMBASSY ends in Y. That distinction prevents a common pattern-solving mistake: confusing an interior fixed letter with a suffix.

T leads the ending counts with 20 matches, and H follows with 16. S itself ends only 12 entries, so try the other endings early when a clue supplies the final tile.

How broad is the everyday vocabulary?

Four common words among 66 matches means most of the set will not be routine vocabulary. EMBASSY and PUBLISH are clear anchors; the scoring leaders are less familiar. Use the fixed positions to search, then validate the candidate.

Check your game’s word list before using a rarer match, especially when the decision depends on a narrow clue.

SUBSIST and SUBTEST join the familiar examples, but their final letters differ despite the sixth-position S. The pattern is therefore more flexible than a suffix search suggests. Check whether the clue calls for a noun, verb, or adjective, then compare the final tile with the ending counts.
