The pattern locks in B at the start and P in position four, leaving four letters to solve. Bumper, bumped, biopsy and biopic are recognizable options, while several entries are less familiar. Only 3 of the 20 matches rank among common English words, so a word that fits the tiles may still be an obscure play.

The pattern at a glance

  • There are 20 six-letter matches for B in position one and P in position four.
  • Collins lists all 20; NWL2023 includes 15, and ENABLE includes 14.
  • Five words end in D and five end in T, making those the leading final letters.
  • Bumper, bumped and biopsy are among the more recognizable entries.

How many 6-letter words have B first and P fourth?

The pattern has 20 matches across the tournament dictionaries counted here. Its smaller total stands out beside the same pattern beginning with S, which has 98 matches, and C, which has 87.

The fixed letters leave plenty of variety in the other positions: examples include bumper, beeper, bopper and burpee. For a clue with a known ending, check D and T first; each closes five of these words. The other endings appear less often.

Which matching words score the most?

Bumphs leads the Scrabble scores at 15 points. Bumped, biopsy, bopped, blypes and bowpot each score 13, while bumper and biopic score 12.

A practical scoring distinction is the unusual letter mix: bumped combines two high-value letters, while biopsy offers a more familiar play at the same score. The highest scorer, bumphs, is much less everyday. Don’t choose by points alone when your game uses a different word list.

A clue-solving note

Tip

Treat the D and T endings as strong first checks, not guarantees. Only 3 matches are common, and dictionary coverage differs, so check an unfamiliar play against your game’s word list.
