The pattern fixes two positions but leaves the opening three letters and fifth letter open, so familiar choices range from PLEASE and BECAME to SQUARE and SENATE. Just 65 matches fall within the common-word cutoff. That split matters: a clue list rich in recognizable terms also contains tournament entries you are unlikely to use in ordinary conversation.

The A-fourth, E-last pattern at a glance

370 matches satisfy both fixed positions, and every match ends in E.
PLEASE, BECAME, CREATE, FEMALE, and DAMAGE are familiar examples.
S leads first letters with 34 entries; A follows at 33.
ZYMASE tops the score list at 20 points, ahead of ZOUAVE at 18.

Which starting letters appear most often?

First-letter variety is fairly broad at the top: S contributes 34 matches, A 33, and R 28. The leading examples include PLEASE, SQUARE, and RELATE, while UPDATE and DEBATE show that the fixed A can follow very different beginnings.

Dictionary coverage differs by game: Collins includes 368 of these words, compared with 263 in ENABLE and 273 in NWL2023. Those are separate dictionary totals, not additive pools; check your game's word list before playing an unusual candidate such as ZYMASE or BEGAZE.

How can you narrow the pattern quickly?

ZYMASE reaches 20 points; ZOUAVE, BEGAZE, UPGAZE, and BEDAZE each score 18. The high-value end is driven by Z, while familiar options such as PLEASE and CREATE do not lead the score table. On a board, prioritize a premium square under a Z rather than assuming a familiar word will score more.

Start with familiar anchors such as PLEASE, FEMALE, ESTATE, or DEBATE when only the two fixed positions are known. Then fit the remaining letters into slots one, two, three, and five. That positional check beats searching by meaning: every answer needs A fourth and E last, but the middle letters vary.

Nearby patterns show how much a changed tile matters. With I in the fourth spot and E last, the sibling pattern has 377 matches; O in the fourth spot yields 216. Testing the fourth letter can quickly narrow a broad clue.

Questions people ask

What are some common six-letter words with A fourth and E last?

PLEASE, BECAME, CREATE, FEMALE, DAMAGE, SQUARE, and ESTATE are familiar examples. The pattern has 370 matches overall, but only 65 meet the common-word cutoff, so less familiar entries also appear among the possibilities.

Which word with A fourth and E last scores the most?

ZYMASE leads the listed high scorers at 20 points. ZOUAVE, BEGAZE, UPGAZE, and BEDAZE each score 18, while ABLaze scores 17. The unusual Z words can outscore familiar matches such as PLEASE or CREATE.

Are all 370 words accepted in every word game?

No, dictionary coverage varies. Collins includes 368 matches, while ENABLE includes 263 and NWL2023 includes 273. Those totals overlap, so they are not a combined count; check the word list used by your game before playing an uncommon candidate.
