This pattern fixes two letters but leaves five positions open, so the matching words range from familiar choices like HISTORY and MYSTERY to less common entries such as MASONRY. The collection draws on tournament dictionaries, with different totals in Collins, NWL2023 and ENABLE. Look at the final letter first: it sharply narrows the choices.

7-letter words with S as the 3rd letter and R as the 6th letter

  • The pattern matches 226 distinct words across the tournament dictionaries.
  • HISTORY, WESTERN, EASTERN and MYSTERY are recognizable matches.
  • A final S is common: 123 words end that way, including ANSWERS, SISTERS and POSTERS.
  • M is the most frequent first letter, with 24 matches; D follows with 23.
  • Collins lists 225 matches, compared with 181 in NWL2023 and 174 in ENABLE.

Which endings narrow the choices fastest?

Start with the last tile. S accounts for 123 of the matches, while E is next with 26; Y follows with 19. That makes an ending-S guess a strong first branch, but it is not the whole pattern: WESTERN and MYSTERY finish differently.

Then use the first letter to sort what remains. M leads with 24 words and D is close behind at 23, while P contributes 19. Familiar examples such as MASTERS, MUSTARD and POSTURE show how widely the open positions vary even with S and R locked in place.

What scores well, and what should you watch for?

JASPERY is the top scorer at 19 points; JOSHERS and XYSTERS each score 17. MYSTERY scores 15, a more familiar option with a strong value of its own. These are tile scores, so a premium square can change a play’s total.

The word pool is broader than everyday vocabulary: 202 matches have definitions, while only 30 fall within the common-word group. Dictionary coverage also varies, so check your game’s word list before relying on a less familiar entry. The 7-letter words with S as the 3rd letter and R as the 6th letter include both straightforward words and specialist choices.
