The pattern is _A___R: A is fixed in slot two, and every match ends in R. Familiar choices include father, cancer, master, and gather. Only 82 of the 441 entries rank among the most common English words, so treat the pattern as a strong filter and confirm that your game accepts a candidate.

At a glance for the A-and-R pattern

  • There are 441 six-letter matches, and all finish with R.
  • C is the most common opening letter, with 37 matches; S follows closely with 36.
  • Matter, rather, father, and career are recognizable examples.
  • Jazzer leads the scoring examples at 31 points; jamjar scores 22.

How many 6-letter words have A second and R sixth?

There are 441 matches for this exact letter pattern. Their first letters are spread across many choices: C leads with 37, followed by S with 36, L with 34, and P with 32. No single opening dominates the pattern.

Try matter, rather, or father when you need an ordinary word. Career and cancer also fit, while larger, easier, and faster show how often this pattern catches familiar comparatives. Those examples make a useful first pass before you scan less common entries.

The pattern with A second and S last is much larger, at 1,063 matches. Keeping R fixed at the end narrows the search substantially, so don’t reject a candidate just because its first letter is unexpected.

Which A-second, R-ending words score highly?

Jazzer scores 31 points in the scoring examples, far ahead of familiar options such as matter. Jamjar is another standout at 22, while zaffar, zaffer, and zaffir each score 21. These are specialist plays, not everyday vocabulary.

A useful search habit is to separate playable-looking words from words you actually know: only 82 matches are common, and 364 have definitions. Scores depend on the game’s letter values and board placement, so a high base score does not guarantee a strong move. Check your game’s word list before relying on an unfamiliar entry.

Questions people ask

What is the highest-scoring six-letter word with A second and R last?
Jazzer is the top scoring example, at 31 points. Jamjar follows at 22, and zaffar, zaffer, and zaffir each score 21. Board bonuses can change the value of a play, so treat these as base word scores rather than guaranteed totals.
Which first letter appears most often in this pattern?
C is the most frequent first letter, with 37 matches. S is close behind at 36, then L at 34 and P at 32. The narrow gap between C and S means both are sensible openings to test when you have not solved the first tile.
Are many of these six-letter words common?
No. The pattern has 441 matches, but 82 are among the most common English words. Matter, rather, father, and career are familiar examples; the scoring standouts jazzer and jamjar are much less everyday choices.
