The fixed pattern is F _ _ _ E _, so the remaining four slots still leave room for familiar words such as FORMER, FATHER, FORGET, and FINGER. Only 51 matches fall among the most common English words, which means many valid fits are less familiar. Check the pattern first, then use the final letter to narrow your choices.

What do the 327 matches have in common?

  • Every match starts with F and has E in position five.
  • The set includes 51 common words, including FATHER, FASTER, and FLOWER.
  • D is the most frequent final letter, appearing on 118 words.
  • Only 2 matches end in E, despite E already being fixed in the fifth slot.
  • The same pattern with S first has 740 matches, more than twice as many.

6-letter words with F as the 1st letter and E as the 5th letter

D leads the final-letter group with 118 words; S follows with 86, and R with 79. That distribution makes FORMED, FORCED, and FAILED plausible fits when your last tile is D. If the clue points to R, consider FORMER, FASTER, or FINGER instead.

The E in position five does not mean the word ends in E. In fact, just 2 matches finish with E, while the D, S, and R endings account for far larger groups. Keep the fifth tile fixed and test the final position separately; confusing those slots can eliminate the right answer.

For a high-scoring rack, FUZZED, FIZZED, and FEZZED each score 28 points on tile values. FIZZES, FEZZES, FIZZER, FUZZES, and FIZZEN score 27. These unusual Z-heavy words stand out, but their scores come with a catch: they are less familiar than everyday fits such as FATHER or FLOWER.

Dictionary coverage differs across games: Collins includes 325 matches, NWL2023 includes 252, and ENABLE includes 242. The full count includes words found in at least one of those tournament lists, not words shared by every list. Check your game's word list before relying on a less familiar entry.

Questions people ask

How many six-letter words start with F and have E fifth?
There are 327 six-letter words matching that pattern in at least one tournament dictionary. The count includes everyday options such as FATHER and FLOWER as well as less familiar words, so the fixed letters alone may not identify a single answer.
Which final letter appears most often in this pattern?
D is the most common final letter, appearing on 118 matches. S comes next with 86, followed by R with 79. If you know the last letter, that clue quickly narrows the choices while keeping F and the fifth-position E fixed.
What is the highest-scoring word in the group?
FUZZED, FIZZED, and FEZZED tie at 28 points on tile values. Their Z tiles drive the score, but these are less familiar choices than words like FATHER or FORMER. Confirm a rare entry in the word list used by your game.
