Locking in R and E in positions two and three leaves 462 seven-letter matches; P starts 178, while C and B start 56 and 42; S, E and D lead the endings with 99, 82 and 65 words; Use those counts as search handles: test a likely first or final letter, but let confirmed tiles—not a familiar prefix—guide each guess.

7-letter words with R as the 2nd letter and E as the 3rd letter

  • 462 words match the fixed R-E positions across tournament dictionaries.
  • P starts 178 entries, ahead of C at 56 and B at 42.
  • S, E and D lead the final-letter counts at 99, 82 and 65.
  • PREZZIE leads the score list at 27 points; FREEZER scores 19.

Which words fit the pattern, and what endings recur?

An opening P accounts for 178 matches, comfortably ahead of C at 56 and B at 42. PRESENT, PREVENT, PREPARE, PREMIUM and PRETEND make the P group easy to scan, while CREATED, GREATER and FREIGHT show that this pattern is not just a PRE- list. If the first tile is known, test P early; the cluster is large enough to be a strong first branch.

At the final position, S leads with 99 words, followed by E with 82 and D with 65. CREDITS, CREATES and DRESSES illustrate the S ending; CREATED and TREATED show the D ending. GREATER, GREATLY and FREIGHT also show the pattern can begin with G or F; the middle pair alone does not predict the final tile.

Which matching words score highest in Scrabble?

Score changes the shortlist. PREZZIE reaches 27 points, while KREUZER and PREJINK each score 20; FREEZER, FREEZES, BREEZED, GRECQUE, FRECKLY and GRECIZE each sit at 19. PREZZIE is a rare-looking answer but the clear score leader, so prioritize it when raw tile value matters, not when you need an everyday word.

Only 60 matches count as common by frequency, and 354 have definitions. For 7-letter words with R as the 2nd letter and E as the 3rd letter, tournament acceptance does not guarantee a familiar word. Check your game's word list before committing to an obscure scorer: 331 entries appear in ENABLE, 450 in Collins and 368 in NWL2023.

Questions people ask

How many seven-letter words have R second and E third?
The pattern has 462 seven-letter matches across the tournament dictionaries represented here. P is the most common first letter, with 178 words; C follows at 56. Those counts make P the strongest opening branch when the first tile is still uncertain.
What are some common words with R second and E third?
PRESENT, PREVENT, PREPARE, PREMIUM and PRETEND all fit the R-in-second, E-in-third pattern. P begins 178 matches, but examples such as CREATED, GREATER and FREIGHT show that the same fixed pair also supports C, G and F openings.
What is the highest-scoring word in this pattern?
PREZZIE is the top Scrabble scorer at 27 points. KREUZER and PREJINK each score 20, while FREEZER scores 19; those values make PREZZIE the clear pick for raw tile points, though its uncommon feel makes it less natural for everyday vocabulary.
