7-letter words with R as the 1st letter and B as the 3rd letter

The frame R _ B _ _ _ _ leaves four slots open once its two fixed letters are placed. Fourteen entries count as common, while 92 have definitions. The set ranges from everyday words such as RABBITS and REBOUND to the more unusual REBOZOS, so check your game's word list before relying on an unfamiliar entry.

How many 7-letter words have R first and B third?

• This R _ B _ _ _ _ arrangement has 116 tournament-dictionary entries.
• Counts differ by list: Collins has 109, NWL2023 97, and ENABLE 86.
• A total of 92 entries have definitions, and 14 are common by frequency.
• REBOZOS leads the score list at 18 points; RIBWORK follows at 16.
• Those dictionary totals overlap; adding them would count some words more than once.

Which endings appear most often?

Final S dominates at 53 words; D is distant at 13, with Y at 8. That makes an S ending a strong place to look once the first and third letters are fixed.

RABBITS, REBATES, and REBOOTS illustrate the S finish. The pattern also includes forms such as REBUILD and REBOUND, so do not assume every match is a plural.

Which R-B words score highest?

REBOZOS is the top raw scorer at 18 points, with RIBWORK next at 16. REBUFFS, REBECKS, RUBOFFS, REBACKS, and RUBBIDY each score 15, while familiar ROBBERY and RUBBISH score 14.

The highest raw score belongs to an unusual entry, not an everyday choice: REBUILD and REBOUND are easier to recognize, but neither tops REBOZOS. Save the rarer options for games whose dictionary accepts them.
