That fixed double-R pair leaves three letters before it and three after it. The results include familiar words such as correct, carried and worried, alongside less common entries like pyrrhic and myrrhic. Only 36 rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency, so a recognizable pattern does not mean every answer will feel familiar.

The pattern at a glance

  • The __RR___ pattern matches 264 seven-letter words across the tournament dictionaries.
  • Only 36 matches are among the top 25,000 English words by frequency.
  • The results contain definitions for 204 entries.
  • A final S is the standout ending, appearing on 115 matches.

What stands out about 7-letter words with R third and R fourth?

C leads the starting letters with 39 matches, followed by M with 35 and B with 30. That makes C the strongest first-letter guess in this set, but it still covers only a fraction of the 264 possibilities.

The ending is much less evenly spread: 115 words finish in S, while G is next with 23. Examples ending in S include carries, worries, barrels and mirrors. If your clue already fixes the final letter, S narrows the search far more than any other ending in these results.

The vocabulary also spans everyday forms and specialized terms. Current, married and barrier are easy to recognize; derrick, herring and torrent show how varied the remaining letters can be.

How do scores and dictionary coverage compare?

Pyrrhic, jarrahs and myrrhic top the scoring list at 17 points each. Horrify and furrowy follow at 16, while jarring and barrack score 15. These high scorers contrast with the set’s 10.2-point average, so the most valuable plays are not typical of every match.

Dictionary coverage differs: the results include 263 Collins entries, 191 in NWL2023 and 185 in ENABLE. Those counts overlap, so they should not be added together or treated as three separate pools. For 7-letter words with R as the 3rd letter and R as the 4th letter, check your game’s word list before relying on an unfamiliar entry; the combined count does not mean every game accepts every word.

Questions people ask

How many seven-letter words have R in the third and fourth positions?
There are 264 matches for the __RR___ pattern across the tournament dictionaries. Familiar examples include current, correct and worried, while pyrrhic and myrrhic are less common options. Dictionary coverage varies, so the combined total is not a guarantee that every game accepts every entry.
Which final letter appears most often in these words?
S is the most common final letter, appearing on 115 of the matches. Carries, worries, barrels and mirrors all fit that ending. G is the next most frequent ending with 23 words, making the S group much larger than any other single ending.
What is the highest-scoring word in this pattern?
Pyrrhic, jarrahs and myrrhic share the top score of 17 points. Horrify and furrowy are close behind at 16 points each. The average score across the matching set is 10.2, so those top entries stand well above the typical result.
