7-letter words with P as the 3rd letter and R as the 6th letter

The pattern fixes two spots but leaves four letters open, so SUPPORT, CAPTURE, EXPLORE, and RAPTORS all qualify. Only 12 of the 90 matches rank among the most common English words, making familiar examples easier to spot than the full tournament-dictionary set. The final S is the clearest shortcut when scanning possible answers.

7-letter words with P as the 3rd letter and R as the 6th letter

• There are 90 matches across the tournament dictionaries counted here.
• SUPPORT and APPEARS are familiar examples; both have the required P and R positions.
• 60 words end in S, including REPAIRS, PEPPERS, and ZIPPERS.
• ZEPHYRS scores 24 points, the highest score among the featured examples.

Which endings and starting letters appear most?

S dominates the final position: 60 matches end in that letter, compared with 9 ending in E and 8 in Y. That means two out of every three matches finish with S, so plural-looking forms such as HOPPERS, TOPPERS, and COPPERS account for much of the pattern.

The most frequent first letter is C, with 11 words; R follows with 10. CAPTURE and CAPTORS show the C opening, while RAPTURE and RAPTORS show the R opening. Together, those starts make up 21 of the 90 matches, but neither approaches the concentration at the final S.

What should you know about scoring and word coverage?

ZEPHYRS is the standout Scrabble scorer at 24 points, ahead of ZIPPERS and ZAPPERS at 20 each. EXPLORE scores 16, offering a more familiar word with a strong score. These figures are base word scores; board premiums and any special play bonuses change the total.

The dictionary counts differ: Collins includes 88 matches, NWL2023 has 72, and ENABLE has 70. Only 12 matches are common by frequency, so many entries will be unfamiliar or restricted to some game lists.
