The pattern is _ _ E _ E _, with both E positions fixed and the other four letters free to vary. NEEDED and OPENED are familiar examples; FEEZED and HEEZES sit at the top of the scoring list. Counts include words accepted by at least one of ENABLE, Collins or NWL2023, so a match in one list may not work in another game.

At a glance, the E-E pattern

  • There are 331 six-letter matches for E in positions 3 and 5.
  • NEEDED, OPENED, SEEMED and PIECES are recognizable examples.
  • S is the most common first letter, with 45 matches; P follows with 36.
  • D ends 112 matches, ahead of S at 106 and R at 70.
  • Only 36 matches meet our common-word frequency cutoff.

Which 6-letter words have E as the 3rd and 5th letters?

NEEDED, SEEMED and DEEMED show how often this pattern appears in repeated-E forms. OPENED and VIEWED put a familiar past-tense ending on the same frame, while PIECES and SCENES show that the final two letters can instead be ES.

The first-letter counts have a clear lead: S starts 45 matches, compared with 36 for P and 25 for C. Try likely opening letters first when your clue leaves the first position open; the S group alone is larger than the whole set ending in E.

Word endings narrow the choices sharply. D closes 112 matches, S closes 106 and R closes 70, while just 6 end in E. If your final letter is known, begin with those three dominant endings rather than treating all 331 candidates equally.

The 36 common entries are a small slice of the full set, so many dictionary matches are uncommon. Check your game's word list before building a play around an unfamiliar candidate; acceptance differs across Collins, NWL2023 and ENABLE.
