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

The pattern fixes A in slot two and K in slot four, leaving the first, third, fifth, and final letters open. MARKET, TALKED, and JACKET show how naturally those fixed letters fit everyday words. Of the 190 matches, 31 fall in the common-word frequency group, so expect a mix of familiar answers and less familiar tournament entries.

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

• MARKET, WALKED, and TALKED are familiar examples in this 190-word set.
• Only 31 entries fall within the common-word frequency group.
• Final D leads with 50 words; final R follows with 41.
• B is the most frequent starting letter, with 21 matches.
• JACKET scores 19 points, while JACKED scores 20.

Which letters end these words most often?

D is the standout ending: 50 matches finish with that letter, including WALKED, TALKED, MARKED, and PACKED. R comes next at 41, with WALKER, MARKER, and BANKER showing the pattern. Those two endings account for many of the most recognizable examples.

E and S form a smaller second tier, with 23 and 22 words respectively. JACKET ends in E, while BASKET ends in T, a less common final here with 14 matches. When the clue gives you the last letter, D or R narrows the search sharply.

What stands out for word games?

JACKED scores 20 points under standard letter values, and JACKET scores 19; both put the valuable J to work while keeping the A-K pattern intact. JACKAL also reaches 19. Those scores are face-value totals, so a premium square can change the board result.

The source totals differ: Collins has 183 matches, NWL2023 has 134, and ENABLE has 121. The dictionaries overlap, so those counts do not add up to the 190-word combined set.

Only 31 entries meet the common-word cutoff; check your game's word list before relying on an unfamiliar play. For a nearby comparison, the same A-and-K slots across seven letters have 278 matches.
