6-letter words with P as the 1st letter and A as the 6th letter

The fixed P-at-the-front, A-at-the-end pattern yields 63 six-letter matches. Familiar-looking examples include plasma, papaya, pagoda, patina, and phobia, yet only 5 entries count as common. That contrast makes this pattern trickier than its simple vowel ending suggests: recognizing a word does not guarantee that every tournament dictionary includes it.

6-letter words with P as the 1st letter and A as the 6th letter

• Exactly 63 entries match the six-letter P…A pattern across at least one tournament dictionary.
• The same pattern has 90 C…A matches and 78 S…A matches, both more than P…A.
• Collins lists 61 matches, NWL2023 lists 46, and ENABLE lists 36; those source totals overlap.
• Only 5 entries count as common, while 51 have definitions.

Which P-to-A words score the most?

Piazza leads the score list at 26 points, ahead of pyjama at 20 and pajama at 17. The two Z tiles make piazza the surprising standout: it tops the scoring group without being one of the longer entries. On a Scrabble board, think about placement as well as the letter total.

The next scoring tier includes pakeha at 15, while peshwa scores 14 and pharma scores 13. Those figures make pharma a lower-scoring choice than the unusual leaders, even though its spelling may look more familiar. Check the exact form before playing: pajama and pyjama are separate entries.

Are all P-to-A matches accepted in every game?

No single source includes all 63 matches: Collins has 61, NWL2023 has 46, and ENABLE has 36. Since the source totals overlap, adding them does not give the number of distinct words. Check your game's word list before playing an entry whose acceptance you are unsure of.

For 6-letter words with P as the 1st letter and A as the 6th letter, the main limitation is familiarity: just 5 are classed as common. Plasma, papaya, and pagoda are easy to recognize, but the 63-word set also contains less familiar forms. Use the fixed letters to narrow a clue, then verify the candidate.
