Write the pattern as _RO____: R and O are fixed, while the opening and final four letters vary; P is the strongest starting letter group, with 142 matches; B and C follow with 66 and 61; The total combines entries across tournament dictionaries, so the dictionary counts overlap rather than add up.

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

A total of 502 entries match these fixed letter positions.
Collins includes 492 matches, NWL2023 has 379, and ENABLE has 350.
PROBLEM, PROGRAM, PROCESS, and PROJECT are familiar examples.
P starts 142 matches, ahead of B with 66 and C with 61.
Our frequency measure classifies 76 matches as common.

Which first letters produce the most _RO____ words?

P leads by a clear margin: 142 words begin with that letter, including PROBLEM, PROGRAM, PROCESS, PROVIDE, and PROTECT. B and C form the next groups, with 66 and 61 entries. Those initials give you the best place to start when another revealed tile leaves the first spot open.

T, G, and D add substantial groups too, with 58, 51, and 45 matches. At the other end of the list, only 13 begin with E. A useful solving habit is to test the crowded P group first, then switch to a smaller initial if its remaining letters clash with your rack.

Which matches score highest in Scrabble?

BROMIZE and CROJIKS lead the Scrabble scores at 20 points each; BRONZED follows at 19, while PROJECT scores 18. The top scores depend on less familiar words, so a high tile total does not automatically make a reliable play.

For the 7-letter words with R as 2nd and O as 3rd letter, S is the most common ending, with 122 matches; D has 90, E has 69, and R has 65. Only 76 entries count as common by our frequency measure, so expect many obscure choices. Check your game's dictionary before committing to an unfamiliar scorer.

Questions people ask

How many seven-letter words have R second and O third?

There are 502 matches for the pattern _RO____. PROBLEM, PROGRAM, and PROCESS are familiar examples, while the full set also includes less common tournament-dictionary entries. The count combines words present in at least one of the listed tournament dictionaries.

Which first letter appears most often in these words?

P is the leading first letter, with 142 matches. B comes next with 66, followed by C with 61. That makes P a strong first group to scan when solving the pattern, especially if your other known letters fit words such as PROBLEM or PROJECT.

What is the highest Scrabble score in this pattern?

BROMIZE and CROJIKS tie for the highest score at 20 points. BRONZED scores 19, and PROJECT scores 18. The leaders are less familiar words, so confirm that your game accepts a word before relying on its score.
