The pattern is _I___R_: keep I fixed in slot two and R in slot six, then solve for the remaining five letters. Of the 377 tournament-dictionary matches, 41 are common by our frequency measure. That gap separates the full game vocabulary from the familiar words most players recognize.
Pattern facts at a glance
- The complete set contains 377 words accepted by at least one of Collins, NWL2023, or ENABLE.
- D leads 43 matches, ahead of S at 34; the first letter is otherwise varied.
- S closes 231 matches; Y is next at 41, while E closes 20.
- PICTURE, AIRPORT, HISTORY, and VICTORY are recognizable examples with different first letters.
- The average tile score is 11.7 before board premiums.
Why do so many matches end in S?
S is the final letter in 231 matches, far more than Y at 41 or E at 20. That skew makes plural-looking forms especially visible: FINGERS, SISTERS, WINNERS, and VIEWERS all fit the fixed slots. Still, do not treat every S-ending answer as a simple plural; S can also belong to the word stem.
Starting letters create a smaller but useful clue. D begins 43 words, while S begins 34; P begins 30, and B and M each begin 28. When a crossing gives you the first tile, use that frequency order to narrow candidates instead of guessing from the ending alone.
7-letter words with I as the 2nd letter and R as the 6th letter
Use the fixed template to check a candidate from left to right: seven tiles total, I second, R sixth. PICTURE and AIRPORT make the pattern easy to remember, but do not let their familiarity hide forms such as MIXTURE, RIVALRY, or DIETARY.
Dictionary coverage is broad but not identical: Collins includes 374 matches, while NWL2023 includes 291. Only 41 are common, so the full set is mainly a solving resource rather than everyday vocabulary. Check your game's word list before committing to an unfamiliar answer.
For a crossword, lock the known slots first and use crossings to decide whether the final S marks a plural or belongs to the word stem. In a word game, the 11.7 average is only a tile-value baseline; board multipliers and placement can change the result.
