F opens and S closes all 277 matches, making this the largest six-letter pattern that starts with F. The -ES ending covers 86 of them, 35 carry a doubled letter, and L fills the second slot in 56 matches, A in 48, I in 38 and R in 37. Thirty-two matches count as common words.

The shape of 277 F-S words

S closes every match, and most are plurals or third-person verbs: forces, fields, finals, fights, fruits, flames, forums, floods and favors.

E ranks fifth in 86 matches, so -ES is the dominant ending; fields, flames, fences, forces, fishes and freaks all show it.

Thirty-five matches carry a doubled letter somewhere, and the highest scorers all repeat a Z.

Rare letters stay rare: only two matches open with J and two with Y.

High scores and common words

Fizzes, fezzes and fuzzes tie at 27 on their doubled Z.
Furzes, fiques, futzes, faqirs, feazes, feezes and frizes all reach 18.
Thirty-two of the 277 matches are common words.
L opens 56 matches, A 48 and I 38.
The average of 11.2 sits below the six-letter norm.
Only two matches open with J and two with Y.

Which F-S words players actually use

The common core is the everyday plural set: famous, fields, fights, fruits, floors, flames, frames, forums, floods, fluids and fibers.

Those words stay cheap, which is why the average holds at 11.2. The Z-heavy top scorers are rarer in speech but stronger on the board.

Collins lists 271 of the 277 matches, NWL2023 217 and ENABLE 201, a wider spread than most F patterns.
