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

Fixing both positions narrows the search to a compact, unusual set: the third tile must be S, while the rack’s final tile is K. The opening letter still varies, but not evenly. U begins eight entries, ahead of B, D, and M at six apiece. Recognizable choices such as MISTOOK and RESTOCK sit beside less familiar tournament words.

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

• Tournament dictionaries contain 41 matches for this exact letter pattern.
• Every match has S in position three and K in the final position.
• U leads as the starting letter with eight words; B, D, and M each start six.
• None of the matches qualify as common words by our frequency measure.
• Thirty entries have definitions; the remaining words can still be valid in tournament lists.

Which entries stand out for score and recognition?

YASHMAK, MISKICK, and BASHLYK tie for the highest score at 19 points each. GOSHAWK and BOSHBOK follow at 18, while HASSOCK and FOSSICK score 16. Those less familiar spellings can be valuable when your rack and board give them a place.

For a more recognizable starting point, check MISTOOK, RESTOCK, and UNSTUCK. They share the same fixed S and K positions but begin with M, R, and U. That contrast is a useful reminder: the middle and final clues narrow the pattern, while the first letter still separates several distinct word families.

How does dictionary coverage affect these matches?

Collins contains all 41 matches, while NWL2023 includes 24 and ENABLE includes 23. These are overlapping dictionary counts, not separate groups to add together. A word accepted in one list may be absent from another, so check your game's word list before relying on an unfamiliar entry.

The pattern itself is the reliable filter: keep S third and K seventh, then test the remaining letters against your game. Since none of these qualify as common by the frequency measure, expect several obscure options alongside words such as MISTOOK. For nearby clues, compare other seven-letter patterns that hold K at the end.
