5-letter words with E as the 4th letter and Y as the 5th letter

This pattern leaves E and Y fixed at the end, so the first three letters do the work. MONEY and HONEY are familiar, while the full set also includes less common entries such as GOOEY and HOKEY. Only 8 of the 89 matches rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency, so expect plenty of unfamiliar possibilities, and dictionary totals differ because each game accepts a different set.

Which E-Y words score most in Scrabble?

JOKEY, JAKEY, MAZEY, and COZEY tie for the top listed tile score at 19 points. JOKEY is a compact choice to remember when a J is stranded on your rack; the J supplies most of its scoring punch.

ZOOEY reaches 17 points, while HOKEY scores 15. Those totals are tile values, not guaranteed turn scores: a premium letter or word square changes the result. For a more familiar lower-scoring play, MONEY or HONEY is easier to recognize, but neither beats a well-placed J.

Wordle and dictionary limits for this pattern

Wordle lists 13 answers and 88 allowed guesses matching this pattern. Treat those as separate sets: the answer count tells you how many solutions fit, while the guess count describes playable probes. MONEY, HONEY, and GOOEY are recognizable candidates, but the totals do not identify which are answers.

The tournament-dictionary union is 89, yet only 8 entries are common by frequency. That gap is the practical limitation: a word can fit the letters and still feel obscure. Check your game's word list before relying on a rare entry, especially when switching between Collins, NWL2023, and ENABLE.
