7-letter words with R as the 2nd letter and R as the 5th letter

The repeated R locks two of seven positions, leaving five slots to separate these answers; P leads as the first letter, followed by A and O, while S is the most common ending; Only three entries finish in R, making the last tile a quick narrowing clue once both Rs are fixed.

Pattern facts at a glance

• Exactly 43 tournament-dictionary entries match _R__R__.
• Collins includes 42 matches; NWL2023 includes 29; ENABLE includes 24.
• Only 5 entries meet the common-word frequency threshold.
• P starts 10 words, A starts 9, and O starts 7.
• S is the most common final letter, appearing 13 times.

Which words are familiar, and which score highest?

PROGRAM, ORDERED, PRAIRIE, ARMORED, and ORDERLY give the pattern some familiar anchors, yet only 5 entries qualify as common by our frequency threshold. The dictionary totals also diverge: Collins has 42 matches, compared with 29 in NWL2023 and 24 in ENABLE. Check your game's word list before relying on a less familiar entry.

ORPHREY leads the raw letter-score table at 15 points. KRYTRON, ORATRIX, and PREWRAP each score 14; PROGRAM reaches 12. Premium squares change totals, but ORPHREY's raw 15 leads PROGRAM's 12, so the two Rs alone do not make a high scorer.

7-letter words with R as the 2nd letter and R as the 5th letter

P, A, and O lead as first letters, with 10, 9, and 7 matches respectively. At the other end, 13 finish in S, six in D, and five in M; just three finish in R. If crossing clues narrow the endings, test S, D, and M before spending time on rarer final letters.

The second-letter comparison shows how restrictive the double-R condition is: this R/R pattern has 43 matches, while E/R has 230 and A/R has 218. For a pattern grid, keep the slots in order—_ R _ _ R _ _—rather than searching loosely for two Rs. A word with R in different positions is a different clue.
