7-letter words with L as the 3rd letter and K as the 7th letter

The fixed L and final K create a small, distinctive set of tournament-dictionary entries. Familiar spellings sit beside less common forms such as killick, calpack, and belleek; B and P are the most frequent first letters, while only two matches meet the common-word cutoff. Dictionary coverage also varies: Collins includes the full set, but ENABLE and NWL2023 include fewer.

The pattern at a glance

• All 22 matches have L in position three and K at the end.
• Collins includes 22; ENABLE includes 12 and NWL2023 includes 13.
• Only two matches qualify as common by word frequency.
• Bullock, pollock, and hillock share the familiar -ock ending.
• Milchik leads the scores at 18 points; killick and calpack score 17.

Which starting letters appear most often?

B and P tie for the lead, with five words each; M and R follow with three apiece. K starts two matches, while C, G, and H start one each. With an unknown first letter, testing B or P narrows the candidates most.

The final letter makes this pattern especially restrictive. Keeping L in third place, K yields 22 matches, compared with 832 ending in S and 196 ending in E. Many examples finish in -ock, but pollack and bulwark show that the set includes other shapes too.

Which matches score highest in Scrabble?

Milchik is the top scorer at 18 points, followed by killick and calpack at 17. Bulwark and hillock score 16. Those are tile totals before board-square bonuses, so the value of a play still depends on your rack and the board.

For 7-letter words with L as the 3rd letter and K as the 7th letter, unfamiliar entries deserve a dictionary check. Collins has all 22, while ENABLE has 12 and NWL2023 has 13; this is not an everyday vocabulary set, with only two matches meeting the common-word cutoff.
