5-letter words with N as the 2nd letter and E as the 4th letter

That fixed pattern leaves 60 tournament-dictionary entries, but only 15 rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency. Familiar options include UNDER, ENTER, INNER, and INDEX; U is the most common opening letter, with 21 matches. Endings cluster around D, R, and T, so the final tile narrows the search more than the fixed letters do.

Which starting and ending letters narrow the search?

U dominates the opening slot with 21 matches, while I contributes 12; S has 7, and A and E have 6 apiece. UNDER and UNMET fit the U branch, while INNER and INDEX cover the I branch.

At the far end, D closes 13 words, R closes 11, and T closes 10. ENDED, ANGER, and ONSET show how the pattern spans a verb, a noun, and a familiar everyday word.

The total is modest beside neighboring patterns: N second with A fourth has 35 matches, while N second with R fourth has 40. Keep both fixed letters in place before testing endings.
