7-letter words with R as the 2nd letter and B as the 5th letter

The fixed letters narrow the pattern to 62 tournament-dictionary entries, but the list is not evenly spread; TROUBLE, CRUMBLE, and DRIBBLE show the familiar -BLE ending; less familiar options such as GRYSBOK matter more for score than everyday play; Only 3 entries meet our common-word cutoff, so expect a mix of recognizable words and specialist vocabulary.

At a glance: fixed letters, uneven endings

• Collins contains all 62; NWL2023 has 47 and ENABLE has 44.

7-letter words with R second and B fifth

E is the clear leader at the end: 25 words finish with that vowel, while D and R each close 10. TROUBLE, CRUMBLE, DRIBBLE, and TREMBLE are good checks when the final letters are still open. Only five end in T and five in Y; S closes four, while C and K appear once apiece.

Starting letters cluster too. C begins 15 matches, D 13, G 10, F 9, and T 8. A, P, and B are much rarer starts, with just one A and two P examples.

An initial C or D narrows the search more than a random first-letter guess.

Which pattern words score well in Scrabble?

GRYSBOK leads at 17 points, followed by CRUMBLY and BRAMBLY at 16 apiece. GRUMBLY, DRIBBLY, CRUMBUM, FRYABLE, FRABBED, and CROMBEC each score 15. CROWBAR reaches 14 and is easier to recognize, but the top score belongs to a much less familiar word.

Board placement still decides the result: a premium letter square can change a word's value, while a strong rack alone cannot guarantee the top score. Treat unusual high scorers as options to check, not automatic plays.

Coverage differs by dictionary: Collins has 62 matches, compared with 47 in NWL2023 and 44 in ENABLE. Do not assume every Collins entry is accepted in an NWL2023 or ENABLE game; check the word list you play.
