The pattern is _E___E: the second tile is E, and every matching word ends in E. Familiar choices include PEOPLE, BEFORE, BECOME, and BECAME, but only 77 entries rank among the common words. That mix matters in a puzzle: recognizable answers sit alongside less familiar tournament vocabulary, so use the letter positions first and check a candidate against your game’s dictionary.

At a glance: the _E___E pattern

All 424 matches fit _E___E, with E fixed in the second and final positions.
R is the leading first letter, starting 96 words; D follows with 59, then B with 41.
PEOPLE, BEFORE, BECOME, and BECAME are familiar examples among the 77 common entries.
BEZZLE leads the score list at 26 points, while the average score is 9.4.

6-letter words with E as the 2nd and 6th letter

The 424 matches include everyday verbs and nouns, not just obscure word-game entries. DECIDE, REDUCE, REMOVE, and DEFINE all fit the fixed positions, while FEMALE, LEAGUE, and DEGREE show how varied the middle letters can be.

A useful solving move is to lock in the final E before testing the other slots. R gives the broadest starting-letter group with 96 options; D supplies 59, including DEBATE, DEVICE, and DECADE. If neither start fits the board, B contributes 41 matches such as BECAME and BECOME.

This E-at-the-second-position group has 424 entries, just ahead of the O group’s 418 and the A group’s 392. The narrow margin makes the exact middle letter important: switching E to O changes the candidate set substantially.

Which entries count in your game’s dictionary?

Coverage varies by word list: 419 matches appear in Collins, 323 in NWL2023, and 307 in ENABLE. Those totals overlap, so they should not be added together; the 424-word count includes entries found in at least one of those tournament dictionaries. Check your game’s list before playing a rare candidate.

BEZZLE scores 26 points, but the top scorers are not necessarily practical plays when your rack or board does not support them. The common examples PEOPLE and BEFORE are easier to recognize, while the 9.4-point average gives a better sense of ordinary scoring than the single top result.

Questions people ask

How many six-letter words have E in the second and last positions?

There are 424 six-letter matches with E as both the second and final letter. The pattern is _E___E, and the count includes words found in at least one of ENABLE, Collins, or NWL2023.

What is the most common first letter for this pattern?

R is the most frequent starting letter, with 96 matching words. D is next with 59, followed by B with 41, so an R-start is the largest group to check when the first tile is unknown.

Which matching word has the highest listed Scrabble score?

BEZZLE has the top Scrabble score at 26 points. That makes it a strong score candidate when the board supports it, though the word is less familiar than examples such as PEOPLE, BEFORE, or BECOME.
