This is the biggest E-second pattern, and it is uniform at the back: all 302 matches close -er. The list splits into comparatives such as better, deeper, lesser and weaker and agent nouns such as leader, member, keeper, dealer and server. Opening letters spread wide, with R on 28 and T, S and D on 26 each.

What every E-to-R word shares

  • Every one of the 302 closes -ER, with E locked into the second slot.
  • The group splits between comparatives like better and lesser and agent nouns like keeper and dealer.
  • R opens 28 matches, while T, S and D each open 26.
  • 63 entries are common words, the most of these patterns.
  • Zephyr tops the list at 23, then jerker, bezoar and beezer on 17 each.

Which E-to-R words are comparatives and which are nouns?

The comparative set is easy to spot: better, deeper, lesser, weaker, tender and pepper all describe or compare something.

The agent nouns name a person or thing: leader, member, letter, keeper, dealer, server, reader, seller and merger.

Mentor and vector fit neither group neatly, and a few entries such as terror and senior round out the list.

That mix is what makes the pattern so productive: the same three-letter tail covers everyday adjectives and the people who do the action.

How do the E-to-R scores stack up?

Zephyr runs away with 23 points, six clear of the next tier: jerker, bezoar and beezer on 17 and geezer on 16.

The average is 9.1, and the familiar words sit low on the chart because E, R and most letters around them score 1 point.

Questions people ask

How many 6-letter words have E second and R sixth?
302 matches carry the pattern, the largest E-second group at this length. Every one ends -er, and 63 of the 302 fall among the most frequent English words, so plenty are everyday vocabulary.
Which E-second, R-sixth word scores the most?
Zephyr leads at 23 points, well clear of jerker, bezoar and beezer on 17 and geezer on 16. The group averages 9.1, so a high total usually needs a Z or another rare tile.
What is the difference between the -er words here?
Two families share the ending. Comparatives such as better, deeper, lesser and weaker describe a degree, while agent nouns such as leader, keeper, dealer and server name a person, tool or thing.
