The fixed pattern is _EA___, which includes familiar words such as SEASON, HEALTH, REASON, and LEAGUE. Only 69 matches rank among the commonest English words, so the full set mixes everyday vocabulary with unusual game entries. The first letter and ending vary widely: L leads the starts, while D is the most frequent final letter.

6-letter words with E as the 2nd and A as the 3rd letter

  • The pattern _EA___ has 304 matches across tournament dictionaries.
  • Collins includes 303 matches, compared with 211 in NWL2023 and 206 in ENABLE.
  • L is the most common first letter, with 32 matches; R follows with 30.
  • D is the leading final letter: 71 words end in D, and 69 end in S.
  • Only 69 matches fall within the top 25,000 English words by frequency.

Which matching words carry the strongest scores?

FEAZED scores 19, the highest score among these examples; FEAZES, CEAZED, PEAZED, and WEAZEN each score 18. Those high values come from less familiar words, not the everyday core of the pattern, so check your game's word list before relying on them.

For a more recognizable play, WEAKLY and PEACHY each score 16. SEASON, HEALTH, and REASON are easier to recognize, but they do not top the score list. The useful distinction is between words you can recall quickly and entries that earn more through their letters.

The leading initial letters are tightly grouped: L has 32 matches, R has 30, and H and S each have 29. Final letters show a sharper split: D accounts for 71 words, while S accounts for 69. When solving, test likely endings as well as the fixed middle.

For 6-letter words with E as the 2nd letter and A as the 3rd letter, starting with R gives more options than starting with C: the R-and-A pattern has 336 matches, versus 55 for C and A. The same E-and-A pattern grows to 458 matches at seven letters, but shrinks to 188 at five.

Questions people ask

How many six-letter words have E second and A third?
There are 304 matching six-letter words across the tournament dictionaries. The count is broad, but just 69 matches are among the top 25,000 English words by frequency, so many entries will be unfamiliar outside word games.
What is the highest-scoring word in this pattern?
FEAZED is the top scorer at 19 points. FEAZES, CEAZED, PEAZED, and WEAZEN each score 18. These high-scoring entries are less familiar than common matches such as SEASON or HEALTH, so verify acceptance in your game.
Which final letter appears most often in these words?
D is the most frequent ending, with 71 matches; S is close behind at 69. R appears at the end of 51 words, while Y ends 33. Checking D and S first narrows the pattern more than testing less common endings.
