6-letter words with O as the 5th letter and E as the 6th letter

Only 15 tournament-list words place O fifth and E sixth, and none is common by frequency. ROSCOE, TIPTOE and SCHMOE are the easiest forms to recognize; other entries include uncommon terms such as CHIGOE and HOOPOE. The initial letter offers another filter: C leads with three forms, and four other initials each contribute two.

At a glance O fifth, E sixth

• 15 matches put O fifth and E sixth.
• All 15 end in E, with no other final letter.
• SCHMOE scores 13, the set’s top total.
• No entry ranks among the top 25,000 common words.

Which forms earn the most points?

The final E is fixed across all 15 entries, so the useful clue is the preceding O and the letters before it. C begins three words, while D, R, T and U each begin two. ROSCOE and TIPTOE offer recognizable patterns; HOOPOE is another distinctive spelling.

The first-letter distribution is spread across eight initials rather than dominated by one starter. C leads with three matches; D, R, T and U each have two. That is a practical search aid when the clue supplies an initial: C narrows the remaining candidates to CHIGOE, CHEGOE and CUTTOE, while a T leaves TIPTOE and TOETOE.

A small and uncommon set

SCHMOE leads at 13 points, with CHIGOE and CHEGOE at 12. The score ceiling is modest beside rare-letter patterns, and the frequency result matters more for solving: none of these words is common. Keep the list for word games and exact pattern clues, not as a guide to everyday vocabulary.

All ten defined entries sit inside a 15-word tournament list, leaving five without a definition in those word lists. In word games, that makes a familiar-looking spelling worth checking before you spend a turn. ROSCOE and TIPTOE read naturally; a rare form such as UPHROE is a different kind of candidate, despite sharing the exact same ending.
