That fixed RA opening leads to familiar words such as RAINING and RABBITS, alongside less everyday entries; Just 34 of the 318 rank among the most common English words, so the full set is much broader than a typical everyday vocabulary list; The endings are lopsided, too: S is the clear leader.

7-letter words with R as the 1st letter and A as the 2nd letter

  • The RA opening matches 318 seven-letter words across the tournament dictionaries.
  • Only 34 matches fall among the top 25,000 English words by frequency.
  • S is the most common final letter, appearing on 124 words.
  • RAZZING scores 26 points; RAZZLES and RAZZIAS each score 25.

Which final letters are most common?

S finishes 124 of these words, well ahead of R with 26 and D and G with 25 apiece. E follows at 24, while T and Y appear at the end of 21 and 18 words. When a clue gives you RA and a final S, that combination is a strong place to start.

For a Scrabble score swing, RAZZING leads at 26 points before any board bonuses. RAZZLES and RAZZIAS follow at 25 each. More familiar choices such as RADICAL and RAINBOW are easier to recognize, but they do not reach the top of the score ranking.

How should you use the RA pattern?

Compare the fixed opening with the next letter when a clue is still loose: 318 words begin RA, compared with 915 beginning RE and 258 beginning RO. That contrast makes the second letter a useful filter, while a known ending such as S can narrow the search further.

Dictionary coverage is the main limitation: the totals differ by game, with 310 matches in Collins, 242 in NWL2023, and 221 in ENABLE. The overall count includes words found in at least one of those lists, not words shared by all three. Check your game's word list before playing an unfamiliar entry.
