6-letter words with K as the 4th letter and A as the 6th letter

The fixed K–A pattern leaves just 18 tournament-dictionary entries, and most are not everyday vocabulary. Chakra and quokka are the easiest to recognize; rarer forms such as sabkha and paskha make this more of a precision lookup than a broad word list. Every answer ends in A, while the fourth slot does the narrowing.

The fixed K–A pattern at a glance

• All 18 entries put K in position four and finish with A; no other final letter appears.
• Only one entry is classed as common, so expect an unusual vocabulary set.
• B leads with four words; C and S follow with three apiece.
• Quokka tops the Scrabble scores at 23, ahead of chukka at 19.
• Fourteen entries have definitions, though many are specialist terms.

Which starting letters appear most often?

B, C, and S lead the opening-letter mix, with four B words and three each for C and S. Examples include bhakta, burkha, chakra, chukka, shiksa, and sabkha.

D and P start two entries apiece; F, M, and Q occur once each. Quokka is the lone Q starter, pairing an unusual opening with the highest score.

That concentration contrasts with neighboring patterns: six-letter words with I in the fourth slot and A at the end number 80, compared with 18 here. The K condition is a sharp filter; swapping only that one letter opens a much larger set.

Scores, dictionary coverage, and the pattern’s limits

Quokka scores 23 in Scrabble, ahead of chukka at 19 and dukkha at 18. Those three show why repeated K matters on a rack: a compact pattern can carry several premium tiles, even when the word itself is unfamiliar. Fourteen entries have definitions, but only one is classified as common.

Dictionary coverage also varies: Collins lists 15 matches, NWL2023 lists 12, and ENABLE lists eight. The counts overlap, so do not add them to estimate the total. This is a spelling-pattern resource, not a promise that every game accepts every entry; check your game's word list before playing an unfamiliar form.

For 6-letter words with K as the 4th letter and A as the 6th letter, treat the pattern as a clue filter, not a vocabulary lesson: quokka and chakra are recognizable anchors, while many matches are specialist terms.
