The fixed pattern is _ _ _ B _ A, so the fourth tile is settled while the first three remain open. PHOBIA and LAMBDA show the shape in familiar words, but they are exceptions in a compact set: only one match is common by frequency. The pattern narrows candidates; it does not promise every entry will fit your game's dictionary.

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

  • The pattern _ _ _ B _ A yields 14 tournament-dictionary matches.
  • Every match ends in A; no other final letter appears in this set.
  • Only one match counts as common by frequency; PHOBIA and LAMBDA are recognizable examples.
  • ENABLE includes 8 entries, while Collins and NWL2023 each include 12.
  • DJIBBA leads the score list at 18, ahead of JERBOA at 15.

Which starting letters appear most often?

The initial-letter counts put C first at 3, B next at 2, and A, D, G, J, K and L at 1 apiece. When the first letter is unknown, scan C-starting candidates early; assuming B is the usual opening would overlook the larger C group.

The examples show how the pattern can hide inside different-looking words: CUMBIA and CAMBIA start with C, BALBOA with B, and PHOBIA with P. Keep the known B in the fourth slot rather than searching for words that contain B anywhere.

How should you use this letter pattern?

For 6-letter words with B as the 4th letter and A as the 6th letter, a strong tile score does not guarantee broad acceptance. DJIBBA scores 18, JERBOA 15 and KEMBLA 14; PHOBIA scores 13, while CUMBIA, CAMBIA, AKEBIA and CEMBRA each score 12.

Dictionary coverage is uneven: ENABLE includes 8 matches, compared with 12 each in Collins and NWL2023. Those counts overlap, so adding them does not give the number of distinct words. Only one match is common by frequency, making unfamiliar entries the main limitation.

Check a doubtful candidate against your game's chosen word list.

Which matching word has the highest score?
