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.

Questions people ask

How many seven-letter words have I second and R sixth?
There are 377 matches in the combined tournament-dictionary set. That total includes words accepted by at least one of Collins, NWL2023, or ENABLE. The fixed pattern is _I___R_, so the first, third, fourth, fifth, and final letters remain open.
Which familiar words fit I in the second spot and R in the sixth?
PICTURE, AIRPORT, and HISTORY fit the pattern. VICTORY is another recognizable match, while MIXTURE and RIVALRY show how different word endings can share the same fixed letters. Each has seven letters, with I second and R sixth.
Do all word-game dictionaries accept the same matches?
No. Collins contains 374 matches, compared with 291 in NWL2023 and 280 in ENABLE. The full set counts a word when at least one of those tournament dictionaries includes it, so check your game's dictionary before playing an unfamiliar entry.
