Fix E in slot three and R at the end, and the opening letters still vary. S leads with 64 matches, while C has 17. Just 28 entries rank as common English words, so familiar examples sit beside less common tournament terms.

At a glance: the E-third, R-last pattern

  • All 217 matches place E third and R seventh.
  • WHETHER, GREATER, PREMIER, and SPEAKER are recognizable examples.
  • S leads the first-letter group with 64 words; C follows with 17.
  • Only 28 matches rank as common by frequency.
  • KLEZMER and WHEEZER top the score list at 22 points each.

Why do so many matches begin with S?

An initial S leads by a wide margin: 64 matches start with S, compared with 17 beginning with C and 16 with P. When both fixed positions are confirmed, test S early; it opens more than a quarter of the set. Familiar anchors include SHELTER, SLEEPER, SWEATER, and STELLAR.

R is the narrow final-letter choice among nearby patterns. With E fixed third, 217 words end in R, against 548 ending in S, 337 in D, and 239 in E. The S-ending group is more than twice as large, so R is a selective filter.

Which matches score highest in Scrabble?

KLEZMER and WHEEZER lead at 22 points apiece; CHEQUER and PHEAZAR score 21, and KREUZER reaches 20. Among more familiar choices, FREEZER and TWEEZER earn 19, while CHECKER scores 18. The 10.7 average makes the leaders outliers, not a fair estimate for every play.

For 7-letter words with E as the 3rd letter and R as the 7th letter, lock the known positions before chasing a premium score. Try likely openings such as S, then check the remaining tiles. A high score does not make an obscure entry safe across every game dictionary.

The 217-word total includes entries found in at least one of Collins, NWL2023, or ENABLE; their counts are 215, 191, and 181. Some words therefore will not transfer between game lists, so check your game's word list before playing an unfamiliar entry.

Questions people ask

How many of these words are common?
Only 28 of the 217 matches are classified as common by our frequency measure. WHETHER, GREATER, and PREMIER are familiar examples, while many other entries are less common. Treat frequency as a recognition shortcut, not a guarantee that a word is accepted in every game's dictionary.
Which dictionary has the most matching words?
Collins has 215 matching words, more than NWL2023's 191 and ENABLE's 181. The total of 217 counts a word if it appears in at least one of those tournament dictionaries. A word missing from your game's chosen list may not be playable there.
Does the E-third, S-ending pattern have more matches?
Yes. The E-third, S-ending pattern has 548 matches, compared with 217 for E-third and R-final. That makes S-ending the larger neighboring group, although it does not change the fixed R requirement for this clue. Compare the S and T endings for other options.
