The pattern is _ _ _ I _ E: the fourth tile is fixed, and the word ends in E. OFFICE, POLICE, INSIDE, and ENTIRE are recognizable options, but the full set reaches well beyond familiar vocabulary. Counts differ by tournament dictionary: Collins includes 375 matches, while NWL2023 has 284 and ENABLE has 270.

At a glance: the I-E pattern

Exactly 377 six-letter words fit _ _ _ I _ E across the covered tournament dictionaries.
79 matches are tagged common, so many entries are less familiar than OFFICE or NOTICE.
S is the leading first letter with 40 words; A has 39 and R has 38.
MAXIXE tops the score examples at 22 points, ahead of ZYMITE at 20.

Which 6-letter words have I fourth and E sixth?

Start with the fixed pattern _ _ _ I _ E, then test familiar fills: OFFICE, POLICE, INSIDE, CHOICE, and ADVICE all match. The first-letter split helps when the opening tile is unknown: S leads with 40 words, followed closely by A at 39 and R at 38. That tight spread means the opening letter alone will not narrow the options much.

The last tile offers a stronger filter. With I in fourth position, E-ending words number 377; S endings rise to 617 and G endings to 533. Confirming E early rules out those larger groups of pattern matches.

Collins contains 375 matches, compared with 284 in NWL2023 and 270 in ENABLE. These totals overlap because tournament dictionaries share many entries; check your game's word list for the final ruling.

How do these six-letter words score?

MAXIXE scores 22, the highest score among these matches; ZYMITE scores 20 and FIXIVE scores 19. Those are less familiar than MOBILE, ENGINE, and DEVICE, so a high tile score does not guarantee that a word will come to mind during a timed game.

The average score is 9.2, putting those standout words well above the typical score. Try familiar options first, then inspect less common entries when your rack or board rewards unusual letters. The 79 common matches are only a subset of the full set.

6-letter words with I as the 4th letter and E as the 6th letter form a pattern list, not a promise that every entry suits every game. MAXIXE's 22-point value compares tile scores; premium squares can change a play's total.

Questions people ask

What is the highest-scoring word with I fourth and E sixth?

MAXIXE is the highest-scoring match, with a tile score of 22. ZYMITE follows at 20, while FIXIVE scores 19. Those words are less familiar than OFFICE or POLICE, and the tile score does not include any premium-square effect on a board.

Which first letter appears most often in this pattern?

S is the most common first letter, with 40 matches. A is close behind at 39, and R follows at 38. Since those leading counts are tightly grouped, knowing the first letter narrows the options only modestly.

Are all 377 words accepted in every word game?

No; dictionary coverage differs by game. Collins contains 375 matches, NWL2023 has 284, and ENABLE has 270, with overlap between those sets. Check the word list used by your game before relying on an unfamiliar entry.
