The pattern is _A___E: NATURE, BATTLE, DAMAGE, HANDLE, and SAMPLE all fit. Just 49 matches rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency. Familiar anchors narrow the pattern quickly, while the wider set includes less common entries that can still fit a word-game clue.

At a glance: the A-second, E-last pattern

The first-letter counts give you a quick way to sort candidates: C, P, and M are the strongest starting groups. NATURE, BATTLE, and SAMPLE show how different the middle letters can be, even with the same fixed A and E.

  • 392 tournament-dictionary words fit the six-letter pattern _A___E.
  • Every match ends in E; C leads as the first letter with 39 words.
  • P starts 34 matches, while M starts 33.
  • DAZZLE scores 25 points, ahead of RAZZLE at 24.

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

There are 392 matches across the tournament dictionaries counted here. Collins includes 386, compared with 269 in NWL2023 and 251 in ENABLE. Those totals overlap, so they are alternatives rather than counts to add together.

Recognizable matches include NATIVE, MANAGE, MARINE, CASTLE, PALACE, PARADE, and CATTLE. The A stays in the second position and E stays at the end, but the three middle slots can vary. Keep both fixed letters in place as you test a possible answer.

Only 49 matches rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency, while 292 have definitions. That gap means the full set extends well beyond everyday vocabulary; a plausible-looking candidate still needs to match your game’s dictionary.

Standout examples and scoring notes

For 6-letter words with A as the 2nd letter and E as the 6th letter, DAZZLE is the top scorer at 25 points. RAZZLE follows at 24, then MAXIXE at 22 and ZAFFRE at 21. The leading scores lean on Z, but ordinary-looking options such as NATURE and SAMPLE fit the same pattern.

A high raw score does not guarantee the strongest Scrabble play: a letter or word multiplier can change the result, and board placement matters. When the rack offers a choice, check the available squares before favoring a rare-letter word.
