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

The pattern is unusually tight: every match ends in N, while B sits in the fourth spot. Recognizable options include CARBON, RIBBON and TURBAN; the set also reaches less familiar words such as GRABEN and TULBAN. Only two entries meet the common-word cutoff, so a strong pattern match may still be an unfamiliar play.

6-letter words with B fourth and N sixth: key facts

• There are 19 matches, and all end in N.
• Four words begin with R, the busiest opening letter.
• CARBON, RIBBON and TURBAN are among the recognizable examples.
• BOBBIN and KANBAN share the top tile score at 12 points.

Which matches score the most?

BOBBIN and KANBAN lead at 12 points each; GIBBON, DOBBIN and DUBBIN follow at 11. Those scores make the doubled B in BOBBIN especially worth noticing, while KANBAN offers a less everyday route to the same total. The average score across the 19 matches is 9.8.

CARBON and RIBBON score 10 apiece, as do ROBBIN, BONBON and CORBAN. If you are choosing among these plays, compare the board as well as the base score: a bonus square can change the result, and the highest scorer is not automatically the best placement.

How broad is dictionary coverage?

Collins includes all 19 matches, while ENABLE and NWL2023 each include 17. That gap matters in cross-dictionary play: do not assume a word accepted in one game will work in another. Definitions cover 16 of the 19 words.

For 6-letter words with B as the 4th letter and N as the 6th letter, the first letter is a useful second filter: four begin with R, three with G, and two each with A, B, C, D and T. Only two entries make the common-word cutoff, so prioritize recognizable candidates when the puzzle demands everyday vocabulary.
