7-letter words with R as the 3rd letter and K as the 4th letter

The fixed RK pair sits in the middle, leaving four open positions to narrow your play. The 132 matches include familiar forms such as WORKING, WORKERS, MARKETS, and PARKING, alongside less common entries. Only 15 qualify as common English words, so the pattern is broad in dictionary terms but not in everyday vocabulary.

How many 7-letter words have R third and K fourth?

• There are 132 matches across the tournament word lists, with R and K fixed in positions three and four.
• Collins contains 129 matches, compared with 92 in NWL2023 and 83 in ENABLE.
• Only 15 matches count as common English words, including WORKING, WORKERS, and MARKETS.
• WORKBOX leads the scores at 23 points; PARKWAY and WORKDAY also score strongly.
• The most frequent final letters are S, with 45 words, and G, with 31.

Which word patterns appear most often?

The strongest everyday cluster grows from work: WORKING, WORKERS, WORKOUT, WORKMAN, WORKDAY, and WORKMEN all keep RK together. PARKING, MARKING, and MARKERS show another familiar route, built around common action words and their related forms.

Word endings add another clue. S finishes 45 matches and G finishes 31, so plural forms such as WORKERS and MARKERS sit beside -ing forms such as PARKING and MARKING. The pattern also has variety: WORKBOX is the top scorer at 23, while PARKWAY scores 19.

Searching with R as the 3rd letter and K as the 4th letter

For a rack search, lock in the middle RK first, then test familiar starts such as P, M, B, and W. P leads with 20 matches, M follows with 18, and B contributes 14. Try common endings next; S and G account for the largest ending groups.

The combined total is not a guarantee that every game accepts every entry: the separate dictionary counts vary, and many matches are uncommon. Check the word list used by your game before committing to an unfamiliar form. For another angle, the R-third, I-fourth pattern has 366 seven-letter matches.
