Highest-scoring words
With E fixed in the second slot and U in the fourth, four positions remain open. The matches range from familiar words such as RESULTS and REGULAR to the high-value MEZUZAH. Only 27 entries rank among the most common English words by frequency, so expect specialist terms alongside everyday choices.
The pattern at a glance
- R is the most common first letter, starting 73 matches; D starts 37 and B starts 25.
- S is the most common final letter, appearing at the end of 100 matches.
- MEZUZAH is the top Scrabble scorer at 30 points, before board bonuses.
- The set has 196 defined words, while only 27 are common by frequency.
Which starting and ending letters dominate?
R leads the starting letters with 73 matches; D follows with 37 and B with 25. That gives you a practical scan order: test R first when the opening tile is unknown, then D or B. S begins just 18 entries, a much smaller group.
At the other end, 100 matches finish in S, well ahead of D at 34. RESULTS, RETURNS, REFUSES, and REDUCES show how productive that ending is. The pattern also includes familiar alternatives such as REDUCED and REGULAR, so a final S is common, not required.
7-letter words with E as the 2nd letter and U as the 4th letter
For Scrabble, MEZUZAH leads at 30 points, followed by MEZUZAS and MEZUZOT at 27 each. JEJUNUM scores 23, while REQUIEM and BEQUEST each reach 18. These are face-value scores before board bonuses; a premium square changes the result, so don’t mistake the strongest rack score for the easiest play.
Dictionary coverage varies: Collins accepts 231 matches, NWL2023 accepts 183, and ENABLE accepts 174. Check your game’s word list before relying on a less familiar entry. MEZUZAH is a striking exception to the mostly familiar examples: its points reward knowing an unusual spelling.
Changing only the fourth letter opens a larger pool: the E-second, T-fourth pattern has 500 matches, compared with 232 here. If U is uncertain, compare nearby patterns before pruning; if U is fixed, scan the R-start and S-ending clusters first.
