7-letter words with R as the 2nd letter and K as the 4th letter

The fixed letters leave four open slots, but the starting-letter pattern is unusually concentrated: seven of the 19 matches begin with B. That group includes BROKERS, BRAKING, BROKING, BREKKIE, and BROKERY. TREKKED, TREKKER, and TROKING show how the same R-and-K placement appears with other first letters.

The final letters have their own clear pattern. Seven words end in G, including BRAKING, BROKING, and GROKKED; four end in S, such as BROKERS and KRAKENS. TREKKED and GROKKED also repeat K in the fifth position, so a clue showing adjacent Ks points to a much smaller part of the set.

Which matches are strongest for a score?

BREKKIE and GROKKED lead at 17 points each. TREKKED and BROKERY follow at 16, while TREKKER and KRAKENS score 15. BREKKIE is a standout because it combines the required K with a second K immediately after it; GROKKED has that same doubled-K feature.

For a fast pattern check, start with the first and last letters: B accounts for seven starters, while G accounts for seven endings. Then test the less familiar options against your game's word list. Only two matches are tagged common, so many entries will be less familiar than BROKERS or BRAKING.
