The fixed pattern is _ _ _ N E _. TURNED, OPENED, SIGNED, WINNER, DINNER, and CORNER show how naturally the pair appears inside everyday words. Just 70 matches rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency, so the full set reaches well beyond familiar vocabulary.

6-letter words with N as the 4th letter and E as the 5th letter

  • 441 tournament-listed words match the fixed _ _ _ N E _ pattern.
  • TURNED, OPENED, SIGNED, WINNER, DINNER, and CORNER are recognizable examples.
  • 70 matches rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency.
  • Collins includes 433 matches, NWL2023 includes 322, and ENABLE includes 292; these counts overlap.
  • Final D, R, and S together account for 335 matches.

The ending letters narrow the field

D is the clear leader at the end of these words, with 148 matches. R follows with 95 and S with 92; together, those three endings make up 335 of the 441 entries. That concentration gives you a strong next check when a puzzle fixes N and E in the middle.

The starting letters are less concentrated. S leads with 47 words, followed by P with 42 and C with 36. Try examples such as SIGNED, PLANET, and CORNER to test different opening letters without changing the central pair.

A common trap is treating dictionary totals as separate piles: Collins, NWL2023, and ENABLE share many entries. The combined count is 441 unique matches, not the sum of the three dictionary counts.

Which matches score highest in Scrabble?

ZARNEC tops the listed Scrabble scores at 17 points. JANNEY, JITNEY, and ZOONED each score 16, while WHINEY, QUINES, and HYMNED reach 15. These stand out against the set’s 8.7-point average.

The best raw scores come from less familiar words, not the everyday examples. Only 70 entries meet the common-word frequency cutoff, so check your game's word list before building a play around an unfamiliar match.

For a clue-solving shortlist, start with familiar choices such as TURNED, OPENED, DINNER, and WINNER. For a board play, inspect the rare high scorers and available letter bonuses; the word’s base score alone does not account for board squares.

Questions people ask

How many six-letter words have N fourth and E fifth?
There are 441 tournament-listed matches for the pattern _ _ _ N E _. The count combines words accepted by at least one of Collins, NWL2023, or ENABLE, with overlapping entries counted once. Familiar examples include TURNED, OPENED, and DINNER.
Which common words fit the N-E pattern?
TURNED, OPENED, SIGNED, WINNER, DINNER, and CORNER are recognizable matches. The frequency measure places 70 of the 441 entries among the top 25,000 English words, so many valid options are much less familiar.
What is the highest-scoring Scrabble word in this group?
ZARNEC scores 17 points, the highest listed base score among these matches. JANNEY, JITNEY, and ZOONED follow at 16 points each. Board premiums can change a play’s total, and your game’s dictionary determines whether an unfamiliar word is allowed.
