The pattern fixes two positions and leaves four letters open, producing a mix of everyday words and obscure game entries. MONTHS, OWNERS, FINALS, and CANVAS are easy to recognize; only 36 matches rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency. Dictionary coverage differs too: Collins includes 401 matches, while NWL2023 includes 305 and ENABLE includes 262.

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

All 413 matches place N third and finish with S.
M starts the largest group, with 45 words; P starts 35.
TENNIS, GENIUS, CENSUS, and PANELS fit the pattern.
ZANZAS and ZANZES each score 24 points.

Which words fit this pattern?

TENNIS and GENIUS make the pattern easy to spot in familiar vocabulary. CENSUS, PANELS, RANGES, and CANVAS also place N in the third slot and S at the end, but their meanings and uses differ sharply.

Use the opening letter to sort candidates: M heads the list with 45, followed by P at 35 and B at 33. C, T, and S contribute 32, 31, and 26 respectively. Frequency tells a different story: only 36 entries reach the common-word cutoff, so most candidates will be unfamiliar.

Which matching words score the most?

ZANZAS and ZANZES top the examples at 24 points apiece. JYNXES follows at 23, JINXES at 20, and BONZES at 17. These spellings contrast with everyday options such as MONTHS and DANCES. The group averages 9.2 points, well below its rare leaders.

Dictionary coverage differs by list: Collins has 401 matches, NWL2023 has 305, and ENABLE has 262. Collins therefore has 96 more matches than NWL2023. Before playing an unfamiliar spelling, check the word list your game uses.
