7-letter words with Y as the 2nd letter and R as the 7th letter

A fixed Y in position two and R at the end leaves just 14 tournament-dictionary entries; that set is unusually thin beside other seven-letter patterns ending in R: O has 390 matches, while A has 385. None qualifies as common by our frequency measure, so expect specialist vocabulary rather than familiar everyday fills. Coverage differs by dictionary: Collins accepts 13, NWL2023 accepts 9, and ENABLE accepts 8.

At a glance for the Y–R pattern

• Exactly 14 entries meet the Y-second, R-last pattern in at least one tournament dictionary.
• GYRATOR is one of three entries beginning with G; B, L, and M each begin two.
• MYNHEER, LYNCHER, HYPERER, MYTHIER, and BYWONER each score 15 Scrabble points.
• Only eight entries have definitions, and none meets the common-word frequency threshold.

Which words score highest?

The top score is a five-way tie: MYNHEER, LYNCHER, HYPERER, MYTHIER, and BYWONER each carry 15 points. TYPEBAR follows at 14, while EYEWEAR, GYPSTER, and GYROCAR score 13 apiece; BYLINER scores 12.

Treat these as tile-value comparisons, not guaranteed board totals: premium squares and crossings change the result. The surprise is that MYNHEER ties LYNCHER, so don't judge a candidate by spelling alone. Confirm each letter first, then compare its tile value.

7-letter words with Y as the 2nd letter and R as the 7th letter

Use the fixed slots as a filter before testing the opening letter. GYRATOR, GYROCAR, and GYPSTER account for all three G-starting matches; B, L, and M contribute two each, while D, E, H, and S contribute one apiece. G is the strongest first-letter branch, but most candidates start elsewhere.

The O-second version has 390 entries, and the A-second version has 385. Those broader patterns are worth checking only if your second letter is uncertain; neither preserves the Y constraint.

Dictionary fit is the main limitation: Collins has 13 entries, but NWL2023 has 9 and ENABLE has 8. Check your game's word list once the pattern is settled. Only eight entries have definitions, so treat unfamiliar forms as dictionary lookups, not everyday vocabulary.
