6-letter words with K as the 3rd letter and S as the 6th letter

Locking K into the third slot and S at the end narrows the six-letter search to 108 tournament-dictionary entries. Familiar options include MAKERS, TOKENS, ANKLES, BIKERS, TAKERS and BAKERS, but only 8 entries meet the common-word frequency cutoff. It suits pattern solving and rack play better than everyday guessing.

• Exactly 108 tournament-dictionary words fit K in position three and S in position six.
• Only 8 matches meet our common-word frequency cutoff.

• This pattern has no entries in the answer list.

How many 6-letter words have K third and S last?

There are 108 matches. That is a much smaller pool than the 666 words with A in the third slot and S last, or the 572 with I in the same positions. The fixed K narrows the search sharply, even though the ending S is shared across every match.

The starting letters still offer a useful clue: P begins 12 entries, S begins 9, and A and T each begin 8. MAKERS and TAKERS are familiar examples from that varied set. If your known pattern leaves several possible first letters, P is the strongest place to check first.

Which K-and-S words score highest?

JAKEYS scores 20 points before board bonuses, ahead of ZAKATS at 19. JOKERS is another recognizable option among the higher scorers, at 17 points. The top score here comes from a less familiar word, so don’t assume the most playable-looking answer also leads the score list.

For 6-letter words with K as the 3rd letter and S as the 6th letter, dictionary choice matters: the collection has 53 ENABLE entries, 101 Collins entries and 66 NWL2023 entries. Those totals differ, so check the word list used in your game before playing an unfamiliar scorer. Its small common-word share makes it a poor source for likely guesses.
