7-letter words with J as the 3rd letter and R as the 5th letter

The pattern is _ _ J _ R _ _, so the J and R are fixed while the other five letters do the sorting. Seven matches begin with A, while only one entry makes the common-word cutoff. Familiar forms such as INJURED sit beside rarer entries such as HEJIRAS and MOJARRA, making this a narrow but varied search.

7-letter words with J as the 3rd letter and R as the 5th

• There are 19 tournament-dictionary matches for the J-third, R-fifth pattern.
• Seven words begin with A; I and M each begin four matches.
• Six entries end in S, and five end in D.
• MAJORLY leads the Scrabble scoring list at 19 points.

Which matches are easiest to recognize?

INJURED and INJURES are the most familiar-looking pair: both start with INJ, then place R in the fifth slot. MAJORED and MAJORLY offer another recognizable family, with the same MAJOR opening and R in the required position. These examples show why checking the whole pattern beats guessing from the two fixed letters alone.

The list also includes forms that are less likely to come to mind, such as ABJURED, ADJURES, and OBJURES. The ending counts are a useful filter: S is the most common final letter, followed by D. Only 1 entry meets the common-word frequency cutoff, so many valid matches are specialist vocabulary rather than everyday guesses.

How do scores and dictionary coverage compare?

MAJORLY is the top scorer at 19 points; MAJORED, ABJURED, HEJIRAS, and OBJURED each score 17. That makes MAJORLY the standout when you can place its J on a premium square, though the board position still determines your final total. The average score is 15.8.

Dictionary coverage differs across the three tournament lists: Collins includes 18 matches, NWL2023 includes 16, and ENABLE includes 14. The full set is not accepted everywhere, so check your game's word list before playing unfamiliar forms.
