Lock the pattern as __I_E_: the third slot must be I and the fifth must be E. Other recognizable matches include RAISED, FAILED, and DRIVER. S leads the first-letter group and is also the most frequent final letter, which gives you useful clues without assuming every match is common.

The pattern's standouts

There are 544 matches in at least one of ENABLE, Collins, and NWL2023.
S is the most common first letter, appearing in 117 matches.
S is the top ending, closing 188 words; D sits next at 173.
A total of 87 matches rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency.
Definitions are available for 438 of the 544 matching words.

Which letters start and end these words?

The frame keeps I third and E fifth. UNITED, PRICES, RAISED, FAILED, and DRIVER show how much the other letters can vary. S is the most common opening, with 117 words; G follows at 39, while C and T each have 33.

Test S first when the opening letter is unknown, since the drop after it is steep.

The endings cluster around S, D, and R: 188 words end in S, 173 in D, and 119 in R. Only 5 finish with E. An E in the fifth slot does not make E a likely final letter; keep the sixth position open and use confirmed endings to narrow your choices.

6-letter words with I as the 3rd letter and E as the 5th letter

For a high base score, PHIZES tops the group at 20 points. KAIZEN, WEIZED, FRIZED, AVIZED, and ZAIDEH each score 19; PRIZED and QUIVER score 18. Those less familiar plays can beat everyday choices on letter values, but the best move still depends on the board.

The dictionaries disagree: Collins carries 536 of the matches, NWL2023 carries 404, and ENABLE carries 383. The total counts each word once if it appears in at least one tournament list, not once per dictionary. Some entries therefore will not be accepted in every game, so check the word list your game uses.

Questions people ask

What is the total for six-letter words with I third and E fifth?

544 words match, since every one carries I in slot three and E in slot five. UNITED, PRICES, and RAISED are familiar examples. The total covers entries found in at least one of ENABLE, Collins, or NWL2023.

Which first letter opens the most of these words?

S opens 117 of the 544 words, far more than G at 39 and C and T at 33 each. If the opening letter is still unknown, S is the safest branch because it covers the largest group.

Which matching word has the highest letter score?

PHIZES has the highest listed base score, at 20 points. KAIZEN, WEIZED, FRIZED, AVIZED, and ZAIDEH score 19 each, while PRIZED and QUIVER score 18. Board bonuses can change the final value of a play.
