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

The pattern fixes two places: N must sit in position two, and R must finish the word. That leaves a varied set, from everyday terms like UNCOVER and SNEAKER to less familiar entries. Only 7 matches rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency, so expect many options to be uncommon outside word games.

Which letters start these N–R words?

The 113 matches come from a union of dictionaries: Collins includes 111, while NWL2023 includes 95 and ENABLE includes 88. A word accepted in one game may not appear in another, so check your game's word list before relying on an unfamiliar entry.
