6-letter words with F as the 3rd letter and F as the 4th letter

The doubled F creates a compact pattern with a surprisingly broad set of endings. Nine entries rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency, while the complete set spans common words such as MUFFIN and WAFFLE and less familiar forms. The pattern is accepted by Collins, NWL2023, and ENABLE, but not every entry appears in every dictionary.

• There are 99 tournament-dictionary entries matching the pattern.
• COFFEE, SUFFER, and DIFFER are among the familiar examples.

Which endings and starting letters show up most?

D is the strongest ending: 28 words finish that way, including SUFFER, DIFFER, and PUFFED. E and R are close behind, with 19 and 18 entries; COFFEE and SUFFER show how easily the pattern accommodates familiar endings.

The opening letters are more spread out. B leads with 14 words, followed by R with 11 and D with 10; examples include BUFFER, RAFFLE, and DIFFER. Only nine entries are common by the frequency measure, so a solver should expect many obscure possibilities among the remaining matches.

Which matching words score the most?

ZAFFAR, ZAFFER, ZAFFRE, and ZAFFIR each score 21 points in the scoring system. JEFFED scores 20, while SUFFIX reaches 19; those unusual high-value options make the pattern more than a list of everyday words.

The average score is 14.3, well below the leaders. Check your game's word list before playing a rare scorer: Collins has 98 matches, but NWL2023 has 78, so dictionary choice changes which entries you can use.
