This pattern fixes two positions but leaves plenty of room for different word shapes; Only 23 of the 139 entries rank among the most common English words, so familiar picks such as PRIMARY, DRIVERS, and WRITERS sit alongside less everyday options; The final letter is a useful clue: S is far more common than any other ending.

At a glance: the R-R pattern

  • There are 139 seven-letter entries with R in positions two and six.
  • PRIMARY, DRIVERS, and PREPARE are recognizable examples.
  • S is the final letter in 71 entries; Y and E follow with 20 and 19.
  • P begins 39 entries, more than any other starting letter.
  • The average score is 10.9 points.

What do R-second, R-sixth words look like?

The opening letter P leads this group with 39 words, while B starts 19 and G starts 17. That makes P a strong first-position guess when you know the two R placements but have not solved the opening tile. PREPARE, PREFERS, and PROVERB show several different endings.

A plural or other S-ending form is common here: 71 entries finish with S. DRIVERS, WRITERS, TRADERS, and BROKERS make that ending easy to spot. Y and E are also worthwhile checks, with examples such as PRIMARY, BRAVERY, and PROCURE.

The pattern is much smaller than its vowel-second neighbors. The same seven-letter pattern with A in position two has 581 matches, compared with 139 here. For a tighter comparison, the six-letter R-in-both-positions group contains 90 words.

Which entries score highest, and where do the lists differ?

Among the higher-scoring options, FRIZERS is listed at 19 points; BRAZERS, PRIZERS, and CROZERS each score 18. Those are less familiar choices than BREWERY or BRAVERY, both listed at 15, so check that your game accepts the word.

These 7-letter words with R as the 2nd and 6th letter are counted across tournament dictionaries, not as a promise of universal acceptance. The entries overlap across lists: Collins includes 137, NWL2023 includes 110, and ENABLE includes 105. Check your game's word list before committing to an unfamiliar high scorer.

Questions people ask

Which familiar words fit the R-in-both-positions pattern?
PRIMARY, DRIVERS, WRITERS, and PRAYERS all fit the seven-letter pattern. They put R in the second and sixth positions, but their endings differ: PRIMARY and PRAYERS end in Y, while DRIVERS and WRITERS end in S. That variety can help when you have a known final letter.
Do most words with R in both positions end in S?
Yes, S is the most common final letter, appearing in 71 of the 139 entries. Y appears in 20 and E in 19. Try an S ending first when the final tile is unknown, but keep Y and E in play for familiar options such as PRIMARY and PROCURE.
Are all 139 words accepted in every word game?
No, acceptance depends on the game's dictionary. The group includes 137 Collins entries, 110 in NWL2023, and 105 in ENABLE, with overlap among those lists. Less familiar high scorers such as FRIZERS deserve a dictionary check before you play them.
