A fourth-position K appears in 198 tournament-list words, from everyday forms such as TICKETS and PICKING to the score-heavy KICKBOX. Seventeen meet the common-word cutoff, making this a broader practical set than many fixed-letter frames. The final S is especially frequent.

Seven-letter words with I second and K fourth at a glance

  • The pattern contains 198 words and 165 defined entries.
  • KICKBOX and ZINKIFY tie at 26 points apiece.
  • KICKOFF scores 23; PICKAXE reaches 22.
  • S ends 86 words, while G is next with 32.

Which examples are easiest to use?

TICKETS, PICKING, KICKING, LINKING and SINKING are familiar anchors that reveal the fourth-position K without obscure vocabulary. WICKETS and RISKING add different opening letters. When a clue suggests a common verb or plural, start with these patterns before considering specialist entries.

S closes 86 matches, more than twice the 32 that end in G. Many recognizable examples take an S or ING ending, but not every S belongs to the same grammatical family. Check whether the clue calls for a noun, verb form or another part of speech before settling on the tail.

How do the scoring leaders compare?

KICKBOX and ZINKIFY tie for the top score at 26 points. KICKOFF follows at 23, PICKAXE at 22, then PICKOFF at 21. The contrast is useful: a familiar spelling can still score strongly, but the board’s premium squares decide which placement wins.

Seventeen common entries provide a strong everyday core. Use familiar examples for quick solving and verify unfamiliar score leaders in your game dictionary. The seven-letter length calls for a crossword or rack search; test opening and final squares first, then compare KICKBOX and KICKOFF when their placements fit the available board space.

A quick solving tip

Tip

When the final tile is unknown, S deserves the first test: it closes 86 matches, compared with 32 ending in G. TICKETS and PICKING make the fixed middle tile easy to remember.
