7-letter words with L as the 2nd letter and R as the 6th letter

This pattern locks L into position two and R into position six, leaving five letters to vary. The result is a compact set with a clear ending trend: 49 words finish in S, while 15 finish in Y. Familiar examples include players, flowers, and closure; algebra and plenary show how different the remaining letters can look.

The pattern at a glance

• There are 87 matching words across the three tournament dictionaries.
• S is the most common final letter, appearing in 49 matches; Y comes next with 15.
• Only 9 matches rank among common English words, so many entries are uncommon.
• BLAZERS leads the Scrabble scores at 18 points.

Which examples fit the pattern?

Players, flowers, sliders, and blowers are easy examples to check: each has L second and R sixth. Closure and algebra fit too, despite ending in different letters. Plenary and slavery add two more recognizable forms, while blazers combines the pattern with the strongest score in the group.

The first letter is not concentrated in just one choice. P leads with 15 words, followed by A with 13; C, F, and S each start 11. So a known first letter can narrow the search, but the final S clue is more selective: 49 words end that way.

7-letter words with L second and R sixth

The fixed letters make this a much smaller search than nearby patterns. With A in the second spot and R sixth, the count rises to 581; with L second and E sixth, it reaches 689. This contrast is a useful solving clue: confirm both fixed positions before spending time testing possible first letters.

BLAZERS scores 18, while FLEXORS and GLAZERS score 17 each. The average score is 11.3, so the top result is a standout rather than a typical play.

Dictionary coverage also varies: Collins includes 87 matches, compared with 69 in NWL2023 and 65 in ENABLE. Only 9 are common words, so check your game's word list when an unfamiliar entry matters.
