The fixed pattern is _ _ R _ E _ _: the third tile must be R and the fifth E. CURRENT, PERFECT, PERCENT, CORRECT and HARVEST show how readily it turns up in familiar vocabulary. Yet only 57 matches rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency, so many other choices will feel less familiar at the board.

7-letter words with R as the 3rd letter and E as the 5th letter

  • 468 tournament-dictionary words match the pattern _ _ R _ E _ _.
  • Collins contains 464 matches; NWL2023 has 341 and ENABLE has 321.
  • Only 57 matches rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency.
  • C leads the first-letter count with 56; B and S follow at 55 each.
  • S ends 281 matches, while T ends 66.

Which letters start and end these words?

C leads the opening-letter counts with 56 matches; B and S are close behind at 55 each. CORRECT and CAREERS begin with C, BORDERS with B, while STREETS and SURGERY begin with S. F starts 37 words, then P has 34, so those branches narrow quickly.

Endings show a sharper skew: 281 words finish in S, compared with 66 in T. Y accounts for 25 and E for 19, while the other listed endings are less frequent. WORKERS, MARKETS, FARMERS, TARGETS and GARDENS illustrate why the S-heavy group includes many familiar plural forms; still, don’t assume every match ends in S.

Which matches score well in Scrabble?

CERVEZA tops the scoring examples at 21 points, followed by JARVEYS at 20 and WURZELS at 19. CERVEZA, JARVEYS, and WURZELS beat everyday options such as PERFECT on raw letter value, so weigh your rack and board before defaulting to the familiar choice. The average score across the matches is 10.6.

Collins accepts 464 of the 468 words, NWL2023 takes 341, and ENABLE takes 321, so a word that works in one game may fail in another. Test an unfamiliar choice against your game’s own list. Definitions exist for 385 of the matches.

Questions people ask
