Which 6-letter words have N fourth and E last?

Exactly 118 words fit, from familiar choices such as CHANGE, CHANCE, PRINCE, and ORANGE to less common forms such as STANZE, JAUNCE, and QUINIE. S and P are the most frequent opening letters, making them strong places to start when you have no other clues.

The openings still vary widely despite the shared ending. B starts 11 matches and T starts 10; C and F each start 7. For comparison, 377 words have I in the fourth position and E at the end, so N is a narrower choice in this pattern.
