The pattern is _A_E__, with A fixed in position two and E in position four. Career, latest and talent are familiar examples; the full group also includes less common entries. Only 41 of the 328 words fall among the top 25,000 English words by frequency, so expect plenty of specialist vocabulary.

At a glance: the _A_E__ pattern

  • The pattern matches 328 tournament-dictionary words.
  • Career, safety, latest and camera are recognizable matches.
  • A final S is most common: 171 words end that way.
  • Zazens scores 24; kameez scores 21.
  • The average score across the group is 10.2.

How many 6-letter words have A second and E fourth?

There are 328 matches across the tournament word lists. Collins contains 318, NWL2023 has 259, and ENABLE has 236; those subtotals overlap, so adding them would count some words more than once.

The mix ranges from everyday words such as parent and papers to high scorers such as jakeys and waxeye. The 41 common entries are a small slice of the total, and the average score is 10.2. For a board game, check your game's word list once: dictionary coverage differs.

Which endings narrow the pattern fastest?

S is the standout final letter, appearing in 171 matches. Y follows with 36, then T with 34; endings in A and E each appear 18 times. When the last tile is unknown, testing S first cuts through the possibilities quickly.

For 6-letter words with A as the 2nd letter and E as the 4th letter, the starting letter gives another useful filter: P leads with 34 words, followed by C with 31 and S with 29. If those do not fit, L and R account for 28 and 27 matches.

Swapping E for I in the fourth slot opens the set to 510 words, while T offers 314, so this fixed E keeps the list compact.
