How many 7-letter words with R as 2nd and K as 6th are common?

Just one of these matches is common by our frequency measure, so treat this as a clue-solving list rather than a bank of everyday vocabulary. PROVOKE is the standout familiar word. The remaining candidates include specialized or less familiar forms such as DROSHKY, BREWSKI, and BRITZKA.

For a score-focused play, BRITZKA tops the entries at 22 points, followed by CROJIKS at 20 and DROSHKY at 18. PROVOKE and BREWSKI each score 16. These figures rank the words themselves; board placement still changes the value of a play, so check premium squares before choosing.

How to narrow the remaining candidates

Start with the first letter: P accounts for six matches, while B accounts for three and A for two. Then use the final letter. Six candidates end in E, four in S, and the other four are split among A, I, and Y.

That combination quickly distinguishes PROVOKE, PREBAKE, and PREMAKE from words with less common endings.

Dictionary coverage is not identical: Collins includes 13 matches, NWL2023 has 11, and ENABLE has 9, compared with 14 distinct words across the combined set. A candidate accepted in one tournament list may not be accepted in another, so check your game's dictionary before committing. For the 7-letter words with R as 2nd and K as 6th, the score leader is also an uncommon-looking entry, not the familiar PROVOKE.
