5-letter words with A as the 4th letter and K as the 5th letter

That fixed pattern leaves the first three letters open, but the results are not evenly familiar. BREAK, SPEAK, FREAK, SNEAK and STEAK are easy to recognize; the set also includes less everyday forms such as TILAK, GOPAK and UMIAK. Nine entries rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency, so a matching pattern does not guarantee a common answer; check the exact A-K ending against your game’s word list.

Which matches are familiar?

The common words cluster around recognizable forms: BREAK, SPEAK, FREAK, SNEAK, STEAK, CLOAK, BLEAK, TWEAK, KAYAK, WREAK, CREAK and CROAK. That gives you several plausible guesses when the final two tiles are A-K, but the first three letters still matter.

The less familiar end of the set includes TILAK, MUZAK, KULAK, BORAK, BOBAK, ROJAK, TALAK, UMIAK, GOPAK and HOPAK. Only 24 of the 29 matches have a definition count, and frequency is a better clue to everyday familiarity than pattern fit alone.

How do scores and Wordle overlap shape a guess?

MUZAK scores 20 points, while KAYAK and ROJAK each score 16. Those stand out beside the 11.8 average score across the pattern. If you are weighing a board play, the unusual high scorers deserve attention; for a quick word puzzle, start with a familiar candidate such as SNEAK or TWEAK instead.
