6-letter words with A as the 4th letter and R as the 6th letter

This pattern fixes two positions: A sits fourth, and R closes every answer. The 14 matches range from familiar words such as REPAIR and UNFAIR to less common choices like DONAIR and SPHAER. Four entries rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency, so most of the set is not everyday vocabulary.

At a glance: a small set with one standout scorer

• The pattern has 14 tournament-dictionary matches, and every one ends in R.
• BAZAAR scores 17 Scrabble points, the highest score among these matches.
• REPAIR, AFFAIR, UNFAIR, and BAZAAR are the four common entries.
• The first letters U, A, D, and M account for 9 words altogether.

Which familiar words fit this letter pattern?

REPAIR, AFFAIR, and UNFAIR are quick words to spot: each places A fourth and R last. IMPAIR and MIDAIR follow the same pattern, while BAZAAR is the set’s top scorer. Those recognizable examples make a good first scan when you already know both letter positions.

The list is unusually compact beside nearby patterns: changing the fourth letter to T gives 298 matches, compared with 14 here. That contrast makes the fixed A a strong filter. It also means a missed common word is more likely to be an overlooked candidate than a huge list hiding below.

How do you pick a 6-letter word with A fourth and R last?

Start with the familiar options, then test less common matches only if your game permits them. The set has 10 defined entries, but dictionary coverage differs: ENABLE includes 9, Collins includes 11, and NWL2023 includes 12. Those counts overlap, so they do not add up to the 14-word total.

BAZAAR stands apart on the score list at 17 points; AFFAIR follows at 12. The average score is 9.9, so the top word is not typical of the group. Check your game’s word list before playing an unfamiliar entry, especially one such as SPHAER.
