7-letter words with W as the 3rd letter and P as the 6th letter

The pattern is tighter than it first looks: every answer puts W in the third slot and P in the sixth, but the words start with seven different letters. UNWRAPS and TOWROPE are recognizable examples; BEWEEPS and UNWHIPT are less familiar. None reaches our common-word cutoff, so expect a puzzle list with some specialist vocabulary rather than everyday picks.

What stands out in these 13 matches?

• The fixed W-and-P pattern has 13 seven-letter matches across the tournament dictionaries.
• Collins includes all 13; ENABLE and NWL2023 each include 10.
• Nine entries have definitions, while none meets its common-word cutoff.
• Eight words end in S, four end in T, and one ends in E.
• UNWHIPT tops the score list at 15 points; BEWEEPS, BEWRAPS, BEWRAPT, and UPWRAPS each score 14.

7-letter words with W third and P sixth

The starting letters split into a small set of clusters: B and U each begin three matches, D and R each begin two, and E, I, and T begin one apiece. That makes the first letter a useful extra filter when your crossing tiles narrow the pattern.

Several entries share a word-building shape. UNWRAPS, REWRAPS, ENWRAPS, INWRAPS, and UPWRAPS reuse WRAP with different beginnings, while DEWLAPS and TOWROPE show that the pattern is not just a list of WRAP forms. Look at the whole word before you assume a familiar ending supplies the answer.

• UNWRAPS, REWRAPS, ENWRAPS, INWRAPS, and UPWRAPS all contain the WRAP sequence.
• DEWLAPS and DEWLAPT both begin with DEW and end with different letters.
• The seven starting letters are B, U, D, R, E, I, and T.

Which matching words score highest?

UNWHIPT leads at 15 points, one point ahead of the four 14-point options. BEWEEPS, BEWRAPS, BEWRAPT, and UPWRAPS are worth checking when a board position rewards a solid tile total; DEWLAPS and DEWLAPT follow at 13.

The score leader is also a good reminder that a high tile total does not make a word familiar. This pattern has no common-word entries, and several options are unusual forms. Collins accepts all 13, but ENABLE and NWL2023 each contain only 10, so check your game's word list before relying on an obscure play.

• UNWHIPT scores 15 points, the highest total among these matches.
• BEWEEPS, BEWRAPS, BEWRAPT, and UPWRAPS each score 14 points.
• DEWLAPS and DEWLAPT each score 13 points.
