That pattern fixes the word as S _ _ _ _ R _, leaving four middle tiles open. The most familiar hits include SUPPORT, SURGERY, SISTERS, SUMMARY, and SERVERS; only 34 matches fall among the 25,000 most frequent English words. Counts include entries accepted by at least one tournament dictionary, so individual game lists can differ.

At a glance: S first, R sixth

296 entries match the fixed pattern S _ _ _ _ R _.
Collins accepts 288; NWL2023 accepts 239, while ENABLE accepts 219.
Only 34 matches rank among the 25,000 most frequent English words.
SUPPORT, SURGERY, SISTERS, and SUMMARY are recognizable examples.
The group averages 10.2 Scrabble points; SKYWARD, SKYLARK, and SUBZERO each score 18.

How many words fit this letter pattern?

Exactly 296 seven-letter entries satisfy the fixed positions: S leads, R sits in slot six, and one final letter remains open. Compare that with the S-first, E-sixth pattern: it has 1,401 matches, far more than this R pattern.

The ending is usually S: 190 words finish with S, while Y appears on 35 and E on 21. That skew makes plural-looking forms such as SISTERS and SERVERS stand out, but not every entry is a plural; SURGERY and SUMMARY end differently.

Which matching words score highest?

In Scrabble, SKYWARD, SKYLARK, and SUBZERO lead at 18 points apiece; SAXHORN and SKYSURF follow at 17. SEIZURE, SHOWERY, and SHIVERY each reach 16, giving you several options for a premium-tile play.

Those are word scores before board premiums, so the square beneath a tile can change the total. SKYWARD and SKYLARK combine Y and K in seven tiles, while SUBZERO brings Z; check the open squares before choosing between them.

A limitation is familiarity: only 34 matches are common by frequency, so many entries are less likely to come to mind. Dictionary coverage also differs: Collins has 288 matches, compared with 239 in NWL2023 and 219 in ENABLE. Check the word list your game uses before committing an unfamiliar entry.
