The two adjacent Ks narrow the search to a short, unusual group. Six of the 20 words begin with Y, while 11 end in S. Yakking and yukking are among the highest scorers, but none of these entries rank as common words. Dictionary coverage varies: Collins includes 19, NWL2023 includes 10, and ENABLE includes 5.

7-letter words with K in positions 3 and 4

  • The pattern has 20 tournament-dictionary matches.
  • Six begin with Y; B and D each start four.
  • Eleven end in S, making that the most frequent final letter.
  • Seventeen matches have definitions, and the average score is 17.9.

Which matching words score highest?

Yakking, yukking, rokkaku, dukkahs, dukkhas, and yokking each score 19 points in Scrabble. Sukkoth, yakkers, sukkahs, and dikkops score 18, so the leading group is tightly clustered.

The doubled K is the scoring feature to notice: both high-scoring examples and less familiar entries share it. Yakking is a recognisable starting point, while rokkaku and dukkhas show how far the pattern reaches beyond everyday vocabulary.

Why do so many matches end in S?

Eleven words finish with S, compared with four ending in G and only one each ending in D, E, H, R, or U. Bakkies, bikkies, and takkies illustrate the S-heavy ending; yakking and lekking show the smaller G group.

The group is specialized rather than familiar: the common-word count is zero, although 17 entries have definitions. The dictionary totals overlap, so they do not add up to 20; check your game's word list before playing an unfamiliar form.

A practical tip for a doubled K

Tip

Keep the two Ks together when testing candidates, then check the remaining letters against examples such as yakking, bakkies, and sukkahs. The exact pattern is more selective than searching for a single K.

Questions people ask

How many 7-letter words have K in the third and fourth spots?
There are 20 tournament-dictionary matches with K in both the third and fourth positions. Yakking, bakkies, and rokkaku are examples; the group has no words counted as common.
Which word with two adjacent Ks scores the most in Scrabble?
Yakking, yukking, rokkaku, dukkahs, dukkhas, and yokking tie at 19 Scrabble points. Sukkoth and yakkers are close behind at 18, so several obscure-looking options share the top score.
Are all 20 words accepted in every word-game dictionary?
No. Collins includes 19 matches, NWL2023 includes 10, and ENABLE includes 5. Those counts overlap, so membership in one list does not guarantee acceptance in another game's dictionary.
