The pattern is _ _ _ P E _, so the first three letters and final letter do all the sorting. HAPPEN, HELPED, PROPER, SHAPED, DEEPER and COPPER are recognizable matches, while the full set spans 380 tournament-dictionary entries. Only 57 fall in the common-word group, so expect plenty of specialist game vocabulary beyond the familiar examples.

How many 6-letter words have P fourth and E fifth?

  • 380 six-letter entries match the fixed _ _ _ P E _ pattern.
  • Collins includes 377 matches; NWL2023 includes 296, so counts vary by game.
  • ENABLE has 283 matches, fewer than either Collins or NWL2023.
  • 57 matches fall in the common-word group; HAPPEN, HELPED and COPPER are familiar.
  • ZIPPED and ZAPPED lead the scoring list at 20 points apiece.

Which endings and starting letters are most common?

The set clusters heavily at the final letter: 157 end in D and 106 end in R. Together, those endings account for 263 of 380 matches, about seven in ten. That makes the last tile a strong sorting clue once P and E are fixed; check D and R endings before less frequent endings.

At the start, S leads with 46 words, followed by C at 40 and L at 34. SHAPED, SLOPES, COPPER, COOPER and CARPET show why the first three letters remain varied even with a fixed middle pair. The pattern is narrower than a general six-letter search, but not narrow enough to guess from the middle alone.

How does the P-and-E pattern compare with nearby patterns?

Among six-letter patterns that keep E fifth, P has fewer matches than T (705), L (629), S (534), K (501), N (441) and D (423). Changing only the fourth letter changes the pool dramatically; P’s 380 is a more constrained branch, not a near match for those larger groups.

Within the P-fourth group, putting I fifth yields 82 matches, A gives 74, and O gives 55. E is far more productive than those alternatives. For 6-letter words with P as the 4th letter and E as the 5th letter, don’t mistake the fixed pair for a narrow set: the first three letters still create many distinct forms.

Scoring outliers add another angle: ZIPPED and ZAPPED make 20, while ZIPPER and ZAPPER score 19. JUMPED reaches 18. The high value comes from Z or J rather than a rare four-letter ending; when rack points matter, compare the first three letters before discarding the pattern.

Questions people ask

What are some common words with P fourth and E fifth?
HAPPEN, HELPED, PROPER, SHAPED and COPPER are familiar matches. The common-word group contains 57 entries, so these examples represent only part of the full set. Other recognizable options include DEEPER, CARPET and KEEPER; less familiar tournament words make up much of the remainder.
Which 6-letter word with P fourth and E fifth scores the most?
ZIPPED and ZAPPED share the highest score, at 20 points each. ZIPPER and ZAPPER follow at 19, and JUMPED scores 18. These values make the Z- and J-starting options stand out; confirm validity in the word list used by your game.
Why do the word counts differ between dictionaries?
The tournament dictionaries do not accept identical word sets. This pattern has 377 Collins matches, 296 in NWL2023 and 283 in ENABLE, while the combined total is 380 distinct entries. A word accepted in one list may therefore be unavailable in another, so check your game's word list.
