The pattern is P _ _ _ _ S: keep P fixed at the start and S at the end, then test the four open spaces. Familiar options include PIECES, PLANTS, POWERS, and PAPERS. The full set has 426 words, but only 46 meet the common-word frequency cutoff, so a match to the pattern is not automatically a word you will recognize or your game will accept.

Quick facts about this P-to-S pattern

There are 426 tournament-dictionary entries with P first and S sixth.
POINTS, PLACES, and PRICES are recognizable examples that fit the pattern.
PIZZAS leads the Scrabble scores at 26 points.
The average score across the matches is 10.1 points.
Only 46 entries meet the common-word frequency cutoff.

How many 6-letter words have P first and S last?

There are 426 6-letter words with P as the 1st letter and S as the 6th letter. That is fewer than the 910 words in the same-length S-to-S pattern and the 561 C-to-S matches, but more than the 419 T-to-S matches.

The dictionary totals overlap: 413 entries appear in Collins, 300 in NWL2023, and 266 in ENABLE. Those are not three separate groups to add together; each count includes words recognized by that dictionary. Across the full set, 368 entries have definitions.

Which P-first, S-last words score well?

PIZZAS is the standout scorer at 26 points, while PHIZES reaches 20. PUJAHS, PYXIES, PTYXES, and PTYXIS each score 18; the familiar PRIZES and PLAZAS are both worth 17.

The contrast is the useful surprise: a word can look ordinary and still score well, as PRIZES shows, while a high total such as PIZZAS may be less likely to come to mind during a quick pattern search. Most entries are outside the common-word cutoff, so check your game's word list before relying on an unfamiliar match. For a different final letter, compare 6-letter words with P as the 1st letter and R as the 6th letter.

Questions people ask

What is the highest-scoring 6-letter word that starts with P and ends with S?

PIZZAS is the highest scorer in this pattern, with a listed Scrabble score of 26 points. PHIZES follows at 20, and PUJAHS, PYXIES, PTYXES, and PTYXIS each score 18. Check the accepted dictionary for your game before playing less familiar entries.

How many common words start with P and end with S?

There are 46 common-word matches among the 426 tournament-dictionary entries. The common-word count uses a frequency cutoff, so many valid matches are uncommon; POINTS, PLACES, PRICES, and PHOTOS are more familiar examples.

Are all 426 P-to-S words accepted in every word game?

No. The pattern has 413 entries in Collins, 300 in NWL2023, and 266 in ENABLE, so acceptance depends on the word list your game uses. Those dictionary totals overlap; they do not divide the matches into exclusive groups.
