7-letter words with K as the 2nd letter and R as the 3rd letter

This is a narrow pattern, not a broad vocabulary list: every match has K in position two and R in position three. The standout shape is SKR-, which accounts for 11 of the 13 words; the other two begin AKR-. None is classified as common, so expect specialist entries rather than familiar everyday choices.

At a glance: the K-R pattern

• There are 13 seven-letter matches, and 11 start with S.
• AKRASIA and AKRATIC are the only matches beginning with A.
• SKRIECH and SKRIKED tie for the top score at 16 points.
• Collins lists all 13; NWL2023 lists 5, while ENABLE lists 2.

Which words score highest?

SKRIECH and SKRIKED lead at 16 points apiece on the listed Scrabble scores. SKREEGH, SKREIGH, SKRIEGH, SKRIKES, SKRIMPS, SKRUMPS, and SKRYING each score 15, making the unusual SKR- cluster a source of strong letter value.

The group’s average score is 14.3. SKRYERS sits at 14 points, while AKRASIA and AKRATIC offer a different opening but do not appear among the ten highest-scoring examples. Don’t assume a rare-looking spelling earns the top score: compare the actual letters.

How many 7-letter words with K as the 2nd letter and R as the 3rd letter?

There are 13, and the split is striking: 11 start with S, while just 2 start with A. The five words ending in S are SKREENS, SKRIKES, SKRIMPS, SKRUMPS, and SKRYERS; four end in H, including both 16-point leaders.

Dictionary coverage is uneven, so a valid match in one game may not transfer to another. Collins includes all 13, but NWL2023 includes 5 and ENABLE includes 2. Check your game’s word list before playing; the zero common-word count also makes these poor guesses when you need familiar vocabulary.
