The pattern is _ _ A _ P _, and the matches lean heavily toward two endings: 19 finish in S and 12 in Y. Familiar options such as STAMPS, CHAMPS, and CRAMPS sit beside rarer forms like SCAMPI and FRAPPE. Only 5 entries meet the common-word frequency cutoff, so recognition varies sharply.
At a glance: the shape of the list
- STAMPS and CHAMPS are recognizable examples with the same -AMPS ending.
- Only 5 of the 38 entries qualify as common by frequency.
- S leads as the first letter with 13 words; C follows with 9 and G with 7.
- S is the most frequent final letter at 19 words, ahead of Y at 12.
- CHAPPY and CHAMPY top the Scrabble scores at 18 points each.
How do these six-letter matches begin and end?
S starts 13 of the 38 words, while C starts 9 and G starts 7. T contributes 3; A and F contribute 2 each. D and W appear just once apiece, so the opening letters cluster around a few choices rather than spreading evenly.
The endings are even more concentrated: 19 words finish in S and 12 in Y. The remaining 7 are split across A, E, H, I, and T. If your final clue is still open, test S or Y before chasing one of those less frequent endings.
Which 6-letter words with A third and P fifth score highest?
CHAPPY and CHAMPY lead at 18 Scrabble points, with FLAPPY and SWAMPY close behind at 16. CHAMPS and CRAPPY each score 15. Those less familiar high scorers stand out beside everyday-looking choices such as STAMPS and CRAMPS.
Nearby patterns change the size of the search fast. Keeping P fifth but changing A to O in the third position gives 47 matches; changing P to E in the fifth position gives 653. The A-and-P combination is a much narrower filter than the E-ending alternative.
