6-letter words with A as the 2nd letter and J as the 4th letter

This pattern is unusually narrow: none of its 24 tournament-dictionary entries is common by our frequency measure, though 19 have definitions. H and G dominate the first position, while half the entries end in S. Collins includes all 24 matches; ENABLE and NWL2023 each include 15, so acceptance depends on your game’s dictionary.

6-letter words with A as the 2nd letter and J as the 4th letter

Exactly 12 of the 24 matches end in S, making that the pattern’s most frequent final letter. BANJOS, HAJJIS, HADJIS, and KANJIS show how plurals and other forms contribute to that S-heavy finish.

The first letters cluster almost as tightly: H accounts for 7 words and G for 6, while B and M each contribute 2. F, J, K, and L occur only once apiece, so the opening letter quickly narrows a search.

Other endings are scattered. H, N, R, and T each finish 2 entries, while D, E, and K finish one each. If you know the last letter, S is the clear first branch to test.

Which matching words score most?

HAJJAH scores 26, ahead of HAJJIS and HAJJES at 23 each. JAMJAR, BANJAX, and ZANJAS each reach 22, while SANJAK, HADJIS, KANJIS, and GANJAH score 17 apiece.

The average score for this pattern is 17.5, making its scoring profile unusually strong. The cluster of high values comes from J-heavy spellings such as HAJJAH and HAJJIS, rather than from a large set of everyday words.

Among 6-letter words with A as the 2nd letter and J as the 4th letter, scoring potential stands out more than familiarity: none is common by our frequency measure. Collins lists 24, compared with 15 in each of ENABLE and NWL2023, so check your game's word list before playing.
