None of the 25 is a common word, so this frame is for the board, not for conversation. Scores run high, with an average of 15.4, because K is worth 5 and many entries add a J, a Y or a second K. Two families, -ING and CHUK-, organise most of it.

The U-K frame by the numbers

  • Collins accepts 24 of the 25, NWL2023 accepts 15 and ENABLE accepts 12.
  • No word ranks in the top 25,000 English words.
  • Last letters: G ends 11, S ends 7, R ends 3 and Y ends 2.
  • C opens 6 words, F and J open 3 each, and L and S open 2 each, which leaves a thin spread across the alphabet.
  • Top scorers: JOUKERY 21, CHUKKAS 20, CHUKKER 20, CHUKKAR 20.

Which 7-letter words with U 3rd and K 4th end in -ING?

Eleven do: FLUKING, JAUKING, JOUKING, WAUKING, YEUKING, BAUKING, DOUKING, POUKING, SOUKING, TOUKING and YOUKING. Five of them, FLUKING, JAUKING, JOUKING, WAUKING and YEUKING, are accepted by ENABLE and NWL2023 as well as Collins.

FLUKING is the one most players will recognise. JAUKING and JOUKING score 19 apiece on the J and K, while the six Collins-only forms are best kept for Collins boards.

What are the CHUK- words?

CHUKKAS, CHUKKER, CHUKKAR, CHUKARS and CHUKORS all begin with CHUK, and together they form the biggest cluster after -ING. Four of them are valid in every major dictionary, and CHUKORS is the Collins-only exception.

Each of the five earns 16 to 20 points from the C, H and K. SOUKOUS, LEUKOMA and LEUKONS fill out the rest of the K list, and INUKSUK is accepted only in NWL2023.

Where the J pays

Tip

JOUKERY scores 21 on an 8-point J and a 5-point K, the top mark here. It is Collins-only, so in other dictionaries CHUKKER at 20 is the better high play and matches CHUKKAS.
