6-letter words with E as the 4th letter and E as the 5th letter

With both E’s fixed in positions four and five, the pattern is _ _ _ E E _. STREET, CAREER and SCREEN show familiar shapes, while KAMEEZ and FUZEES reveal how sharply scoring can differ. The matches span Collins, NWL2023 and ENABLE, but only 15 belong to the common-word group, so start by checking the final letter, where S dominates.

Which matching words score highest?

KAMEEZ leads the top scorers at 21 points, followed by FUZEES at 18 and EXCEED at 16. An uncommon opening can carry much of a rack’s value, especially when a premium square boosts K or Z.

STREET, CAREER, SCREEN and ASLEEP are easier to recognize, yet only 15 of the 135 matches are classed as common. A word accepted in one dictionary may not appear in another: Collins has 128 matches, NWL2023 has 102, and ENABLE has 90. Check your game’s word list before playing.

How to narrow 6-letter words with E as 4th and E as 5th letter

Start with the final tile: S, D and N account for 93 of the 135 matches. That quick split points toward familiar forms such as AGREES, AGREED and UNSEEN without forcing you to scan every opening.

Then use the first letter to tighten the search. S starts 20 matches and R starts 17, while only 6 begin with E. If your board gives you a known opening, combine it with the strong S ending first.

• For an S ending, try STREET, AGREES, RUPEES or SPLEEN as pattern checks.
• For a D ending, compare AGREED, SCREED and EXCEED; each keeps the two E tiles fixed.
• When the rack is awkward, test KAMEEZ for its 21-point score, but confirm it is allowed in your game.
