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

That pattern guarantees a final E, but the first four letters still produce a varied set: SERENE, SPHERE and DELETE all fit. Only 18 of the 130 words rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency, so familiar examples sit beside less common entries. S is the most frequent starting letter, with 18 matches; A and P follow with 12 each.

At a glance: pattern, count and standout words

• 130 six-letter entries have E in both the fourth and final positions.
• CHEESE, SCHEME and SEVERE are familiar examples that match the pattern.
• WHEEZE leads the scorers at 21 points; PHEEZE follows at 20.
• S starts 18 matches, more than any other starting letter in this set.

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

The repeated E positions leave room for very different beginnings. FREEZE and BREEZE share a similar ending sound, while GREECE and FLEECE take the pattern in different directions. REVERЕ is not needed to make the point: REVERE and RECEDE are also valid matches.

The 18 common entries are a small slice of the 130-word total. That contrast matters when a puzzle clue feels familiar: the pattern includes everyday choices such as SNEEZE, plus entries such as EOCENE and XYLE​​NE that are much less likely to come to mind.

How should you choose a matching word?

Start with the letters you already know, then compare the beginning of candidates such as ADHERE, ALLEGE and IMPede. The most common initial is S, but that does not make every S-word a better fit; the known positions and your remaining letters decide.

Dictionary coverage differs sharply: Collins includes 129 of these words, while ENABLE includes 77 and NWL2023 includes 82. The 130 total counts words found in at least one of those tournament lists, not words accepted by every game. Check your game's word list before relying on an unfamiliar match.
