The pattern is R _ _ _ _ N _: keep R in the first slot and N in the sixth, then use the remaining letters to narrow your choices. RUNNING, READING, and RETURNS are recognizable matches. The full set draws on tournament dictionaries, so counts can differ between game word lists.

7-letter words with R first and N sixth: at a glance

  • There are 238 matches across the tournament dictionaries counted here.
  • The common-word measure includes 52 matches; 199 entries have definitions.
  • Words ending in G lead with 124 matches, ahead of S with 53 and T with 23.
  • RAZZING scores 26, the highest score among the featured matches.
  • The average score is 9.9.

Which endings appear most often?

A final G is the clearest pattern: 124 of these words end in G. RUNNING, READING, and ROLLING show how often an -ing ending fits the fixed N in slot six.

S comes next with 53 matches, including REASONS and REMAINS. T appears 23 times, as in RETURNS. The gap between G and S is substantial, so test an ending G first when your other known letters allow it.

Only 11 matches end in E, while A, I, and O each appear as the final letter in three words. That narrow tail-end pattern can make an otherwise open rack easier to sort.

Which matches score well, and what should you check?

RAZZING stands apart at 26 points; RHIZINE scores 19, while RHYMING and REQUINS each score 16. The strongest score comes from an unusual spelling, not from a common everyday pick, so weigh rack fit against score.

Counts vary by dictionary: Collins has 236 matches, NWL2023 has 187, and ENABLE has 179. Those source totals overlap, while 238 is the combined count. Check your game's word list before playing an unfamiliar entry.

  • For a familiar starting point, try RUNNING, READING, or RETURNS.
  • For a score-focused play, consider RAZZING when your rack and board support it.
  • Use the final letter as a fast filter: G, S, and T account for most matches.
