7-letter words with W as the 1st letter and S as the 4th letter

The pattern is W??S???, so the fourth letter stays fixed while the remaining five spots vary. WEBSITE, WORSHIP, and WHISTLE are recognizable examples; WHISKEY leads the Scrabble scores. Only 8 entries rank among the commonest English words, so expect plenty of specialist or less familiar play; dictionary counts also differ, with Collins including more matches than NWL2023 or ENABLE.

• There are 68 tournament-dictionary entries matching W??S???.
• Just 8 matches fall within the top 25,000 English words by frequency.

7-letter words with W as the 1st letter and S as the 4th letter

There are 68 matching words, and the familiar examples make the letter pattern easy to check: WEBSITE places S fourth, as do WORSHIP and WHISTLE. WHISPER and WHISKER share that same opening shape, but finish with different letters.

The small common-word share is the catch: only 8 entries meet the frequency cutoff. Start with recognizable words such as WEBSITE, WHISPER, and WORSHIP when you need candidates quickly, then scan less familiar forms like WAISTED or WORSENS.

Compare the fixed fourth letter with nearby patterns before changing your guess. Keeping W first but using T fourth yields 105 matches, while R fourth gives 58. The S pattern sits between those counts, with 68 options.

• WEBSITE, WORSHIP, and WHISTLE all place S fourth.
• Only 8 matches fall within the common-word frequency cutoff.
• With W first, T fourth gives 105 matches and R fourth gives 58.
