The fixed pattern is _E___S: E sits in position two, and S closes every match. R begins the largest starting-letter group, with 117 words, while D is next with 78. Familiar entries such as BEGINS, HEARTS, and TENNIS sit alongside many less common tournament words.

How many 6-letter words with E second and S last?

There are 763 matches for the _E___S pattern across the included tournament dictionaries.
SERIES, LEVELS, LEAVES, and BEGINS are among the familiar examples.
R is the most common first letter, with 117 matches; D follows with 78.
FEZZES leads the scoring examples at 27 points; MEZZOS and MEZZES score 26.
Only 67 matches fall within the top 25,000 English words by word frequency.

Which words fit the E-second, S-last pattern?

Start with recognizable choices: SERIES, LEVELS, LEAVES, BEGINS, HEARTS, and TENNIS all fit. These examples show how varied the middle letters can be while the second E and final S stay fixed.

The starting letters are not evenly spread. R leads with 117 words, ahead of D at 78 and B at 69. That makes an R-starting candidate a sensible first check when the opening tile is still uncertain.

How should you narrow down a play?

For a high-scoring option, FEZZES stands out at 27 points, with MEZZOS and MEZZES at 26. Those are unusual words, though, so a strong tile score does not make them easy to recognize or suitable for every board.

The 763 matches count words appearing in at least one of ENABLE, Collins, or NWL2023; they are not all shared across every dictionary. With just 67 entries classed as common, many candidates are obscure. Check your game’s word list before relying on an unfamiliar play.

Across the whole set, 641 of the 763 matches carry a dictionary definition, and the average Scrabble score sits at 9.6. That low average is the real story: most matches are ordinary point plays, and only the handful of double-Z words breaks away.

Questions people ask

How many six-letter words have E second and S last?

There are 763 six-letter matches with E in position two and S in position six. SERIES, LEVELS, and LEAVES are familiar examples, but only 67 matches fall among the top 25,000 English words by frequency.

What is the highest-scoring word in this pattern?

FEZZES is the highest-scoring example at 27 points. MEZZOS and MEZZES follow at 26 points each, so the top scores come from less familiar words rather than everyday options like SERIES or TENNIS.

Which first letter appears most often in these words?

R is the most frequent starting letter, appearing in 117 matches. D ranks second with 78, followed by B with 69, so an R-starting candidate is the first group to check when that opening letter is known.
