The pattern fixes two of six tiles but leaves the opening, third, fourth, and final letters open. That creates a mixed pool: common terms such as MANUAL and CASUAL sit beside specialist entries, while the ending counts make the final tile especially revealing. This is a clue list, not a dictionary of meanings.

Familiar words and leading endings at a glance

425 entries fit the pattern, and 335 have a dictionary definition.
Only 27 are common by frequency; MANUAL, CASUAL, FACIAL, and CANVAS are familiar anchors.
Final S leads with 138 words, ahead of N at 67 and L at 59.
C begins the most matches, with 41; M and P each begin 40.

Which endings dominate this pattern?

S is the leading final letter, with 138 matches. That is more than twice N's 67; L follows at 59. If the final tile is known, start with that split rather than scanning the whole set.

At the front, C has 41 entries, followed by M and P with 40 apiece. Try CASUAL, CANVAS, or CAESAR when C is fixed; MANUAL and MAMMAL show how broad the M group is. These examples fit the clue, but their meanings differ.

How should you use 6-letter words with A in positions 2 and 5?

Scoring swings sharply because the set includes ordinary words and letter-rich outliers. HAZZAN tops the score list at 27, followed by HAJJAH at 26 and PAXWAX at 25; ZANZAS and TAZZAS each score 24. Those are score leaders, not the best guesses for every board.

Dictionary coverage varies: 411 matches are in Collins, 292 in NWL2023, and 248 in ENABLE. The 425 total includes words accepted by at least one tournament list, so do not assume every entry is legal in your game. Check its word list before playing an unfamiliar form.

A common trap is treating the fifth-position A as part of a fixed ending. The final letter varies: MANUAL and CASUAL end in L, while CANVAS ends in S. Compare those examples against your known tiles before ruling out a candidate.

Use 6-letter words with A in positions 2 and 5 as a pattern filter, then narrow the candidates with the remaining letters.

Questions people ask

Are there common six-letter words with A in both positions?

Yes: MANUAL, CASUAL, FACIAL, and CANVAS are among the 27 common matches. They make recognizable checks when the pattern is partial, but an exact clue still depends on the known first, third, fourth, and sixth letters.

Which word in this pattern scores highest?

HAZZAN is the highest-scoring entry at 27 points. HAJJAH follows at 26, then PAXWAX at 25; these are score plays rather than everyday guesses, so confirm your game's dictionary before using an unfamiliar word.

How many of these words end in S?

138 of the 425 matches end in S, making it the leading final letter by a wide margin. N is next with 67 and L has 59, so an S ending is a strong pattern clue but does not identify a single answer.
