With E fixed in position two and R closing the word, the opening letter does much of the sorting. R begins 64 matches, while D is next with 36. Familiar options include weather, neither and deliver; the full set also contains specialist entries. Collins lists 313 matches, NWL2023 lists 265, and ENABLE lists 242, so the same pattern does not guarantee acceptance in every game.
7-letter words with E second and R last
- The pattern contains 319 seven-letter words in at least one tournament dictionary.
- Regular, teacher, weather and senator are recognizable examples.
- R is the most common first letter, appearing in 64 matches; D follows with 36.
- Only 22 matches rank among the most common English words by frequency.
- JERQUER leads the listed tile scores at 23 points.
Which matches are familiar words?
Regular, teacher, weather, leather and feather are easy to spot because they appear in everyday reading. Neither, recover and deliver offer other familiar shapes, while seminar, reactor and realtor show how varied the endings before R can be.
The less familiar entries matter when a clue narrows the pattern but leaves several letters open. Compare the first letter first: R accounts for 64 words, nearly twice D’s 36. The 22 common matches are a small slice of the full set, so expect many entries to feel less obvious.
How should you use this letter pattern?
Treat the fixed E and final R as anchors, then test the first letter before scanning the middle. That approach takes advantage of the uneven openings: R leads, while S and F contribute 23 and 22 matches. Familiar candidates such as regular, teacher and weather are good first checks, not a complete search.
For board play, JERQUER scores 23 on the listed tile values; JERKIER and JEMMIER score 18 each. Those totals do not include premium squares, so placement can change the result. The limitation is dictionary coverage: 319 matches qualify overall, but only 265 appear in NWL2023. Check your game's word list before building a play around an unfamiliar entry.
