Read the template as _R__I__: the fixed letters leave five positions open. Among 375 tournament-dictionary matches, familiar options include growing, driving, profile, promise and trading. The neighboring pattern with A in the second position has 1,363 matches, so this R-and-I combination is a much narrower filter.

The R-and-I pattern at a glance

  • Collins includes 369 matches, compared with 286 in NWL2023 and 260 in ENABLE.
  • P leads the starting letters with 83 words; G follows with 48.
  • G is the most frequent ending, appearing in 105 matches.
  • The common-word group has 47 entries, including provide and writing.

How many 7-letter words have R second and I fifth?

The answer is 375 matches. P, G, C and B are the leading first letters, with counts of 83, 48, 46 and 44 respectively. That makes provide, promise and profile useful familiar examples of the largest starting group.

Look at the final tile for another quick clue: G occurs 105 times, while E and S each occur 67 times. Writing, drawing and growing show the G-ending run; credits and critics show how the S-ending group includes recognizable choices.

Which matches stand out for word games?

Crazily tops the scoring list at 21 points before board bonuses. Its high-value Z and Y stand out beside everyday candidates such as provide and trading, which are easier to recognize while solving a rack or a letter-pattern clue. Prejink, frizing, bromize and crojiks follow at 20, and brazing, prizing and crazing score 19.

Dictionary coverage is uneven: Collins has 369 matches, while NWL2023 has 286 and ENABLE has 260. Some unfamiliar entries will not work in every game, so check your game's word list before committing. For a related search, compare 7-letter words with R second and G fifth.
