That fixed R in slot two and S in slot seven produce 606 tournament-dictionary matches; Yet recognizable words like FRIENDS, WRITERS, and DRIVERS make up only part of the range; Just 55 entries meet the common-word cutoff, while 520 have definitions; P starts the most matches, but its lead over A is only four words.

At a glance: counts, starts, and scores

  • P leads the starting letters with 84 matches; A follows with 80, so the pattern is not tied to one opening letter.
  • B and T each start 71 words, while C and G each start 65.
  • Collins includes 592 matches, versus 443 in NWL2023 and 405 in ENABLE.
  • FRIZZES tops the score ranking at 28 points; GRIZZES follows at 26.
  • Only 55 of 606 matches are common words, despite familiar examples such as FRIENDS and PROCESS.

Which 7-letter words with R second and S seventh stand out?

Common-looking forms include FRIENDS, ARTISTS, DRIVERS, WRITERS, and CRITICS. Many are plurals, but the pattern also catches verbs and other forms: CREATES, ARRIVES, and TRAVELS end in S without being simple plural nouns. That mix matters when a clue fixes letter positions but leaves the part of speech open.

PROCESS and PROFITS are especially recognizable; ORLEANS, PRAYERS, BRIDGES, and ORIGINS broaden the opening-letter spread. P begins 84 matches, just four more than A's 80, while B and T contribute 71 apiece. Don't assume the first letter is P merely because it leads the count.

How to use 7-letter words with R second and S seventh

For 7-letter words with R second and S seventh, lock R and S first, then test the first letter against the clue; the leading starts are P, A, B, and T, not a single dominant choice. FRIZZES offers a high-value outlier at 28 points, while more familiar FREEZES scores 19. The count of 606 makes this pattern broad, but its 55 common entries mean many matches will feel specialized.

Dictionary coverage changes the playable pool: Collins counts 592, NWL2023 443, and ENABLE 405. Those figures are not interchangeable, so a word accepted in one setting may fail in another. Among the common entries, FRIENDS and PROCESS are easier to spot quickly than specialized high scorers; start with clue fit, then check the exact lexicon.

Questions people ask

How many 7-letter words have R as the second letter and S as the last?
There are 606 tournament-dictionary matches for this pattern. Collins counts 592, NWL2023 counts 443, and ENABLE counts 405, so the playable pool depends on your game's lexicon. Familiar examples include FRIENDS and PROCESS.
Which first letter appears most often in these words?
P is the most frequent first letter, with 84 matches. A is close behind at 80, while B and T each begin 71. That narrow gap means a clue's first letter matters more than relying on the leader.
What is the highest-scoring word with R second and S last?
FRIZZES is the highest-scoring example at 28 points. GRIZZES scores 26, and FREEZES scores 19. Those are word scores, not a guarantee of a particular board result; letter and premium-square placement can change the total.
