6-letter words with E as the 2nd letter and N as the 5th letter

The pattern leaves the first, third, fourth, and final letters open, so SECOND, BEHIND, and RECENT look quite different despite sharing two fixed positions. The 241 matches include 39 common words. Dictionary coverage differs: ENABLE lists 160, Collins 235, and NWL2023 177; these overlapping totals do not add up to the match count.

Which first and last letters appear most?

R is the leading first letter, with 52 matches; D follows at 35 and S at 23. R-starting matches outnumber S-starting ones by more than two to one, so an unknown opening tile is worth testing against R early. Keep the fixed E and N in place as you compare candidates.

G ends 60 words, ahead of S at 54, E at 37, and T at 29. G and S together close 114 matches, while A, Y, and K endings appear in 10, 9, and 5. Check the more frequent G and S endings before trying the rarer final letters.

Which matches score highest in Scrabble?

JEJUNE, ZEDONK, and JEJUNA each score 20 points before board bonuses. WEZAND follows at 19, DEZINC scores 18, and VEXING and HEXING reach 17. Those unusual-letter plays stand out against the average score of 9.7, but only when your rack supports their spellings.

Only 39 matches are common, and 187 have definitions. The remaining entries are less transparent, so check unfamiliar spellings before playing. Dictionary membership differs among ENABLE, Collins, and NWL2023; confirm eligibility in the word list your game uses.

RECENT, DECENT, and TENANT share the fixed positions but use different first, third, fourth, and final letters. Comparing those familiar examples shows how much room the open slots leave.
