This pattern fixes both ends of each seven-letter answer: K opens every word and R closes it. The entries range from familiar picks such as KNOCKER and KNITTER to less common choices like KREUZER and KHANJAR. Only one match is classed as common, so expect a specialized word-game list rather than everyday vocabulary.

K words ending in R at a glance

  • All 40 tournament-listed matches start with K and finish with R.
  • Collins includes 39 matches; NWL2023 includes 30.
  • ENABLE lists 28 matches, while only one is classed as common.
  • KLEZMER leads the scoring list at 22 points, ahead of KHANJAR at 21.
  • The average score across the pattern is 14.2.

Which K-first, R-ending words score highest?

KLEZMER tops the list at 22 points, followed by KHANJAR at 21 and KREUZER at 20. Those three stand out from the average score of 14.2, making them worth checking first when you are weighing a high-value play.

KAYAKER scores 18, while KNOCKER, KNICKER, and KNACKER each score 17. Familiar-looking choices are not automatically the top scorers: compare the actual score before committing a rack, especially when KLEZMER or KHANJAR fits.

7-letter words with K first and R last by dictionary

Dictionary coverage is uneven: Collins has 39 matches, compared with 30 in NWL2023 and 28 in ENABLE. These totals overlap because a word can appear in several lists; they are not separate groups to add together.

The small common-word count is the main limitation for quick solving: only one of the 40 matches is classed as common. KNOCKER, KNITTER, and KAYAKER are more recognizable starting points, while some other entries are specialized. Check your game's word list before playing an unfamiliar form.

Questions people ask

How many seven-letter words start with K and end with R?
There are 40 seven-letter matches with K in position one and R in position seven. The counts overlap across dictionaries: Collins contains 39, NWL2023 has 30, and ENABLE has 28. A word can appear in more than one list, so those figures do not add to 40.
What is the highest-scoring word in this pattern?
KLEZMER is the top scorer in this pattern at 22 points. KHANJAR follows at 21, then KREUZER at 20. KAYAKER reaches 18, so compare the word-specific scores rather than assuming a familiar-looking option will lead.
Are most K-first, R-ending words common?
No. Only one of the 40 matches is classed as common, so most entries are less familiar than words such as KNOCKER, KNITTER, and KAYAKER. That makes dictionary coverage important: Collins, NWL2023, and ENABLE do not include identical sets.
