6-letter words with P as the 4th letter and E as the 6th letter

The opening letter helps narrow a search: fifteen matches begin with S, eleven with T, and nine with C. That makes those three starts a substantial share of the 91 entries, a derived sum rather than a claim that the rest are rare. Familiar examples include SIMPLE, SAMPLE, STAPLE, TEMPLE, TRIPLE, and CORPSE.

The pattern is not limited to one ending family; the final E is fixed, but the middle letters vary widely.

CHYPRE scores 16, followed by KEWPIE at 15 and GYMPIE at 14. These less familiar names can matter on a board because K, Y, and other high-value tiles raise the base score. By contrast, PEOPLE and COUPLE are easy to recognize but do not lead the score table.

Use the scored options when placing a word matters more than quickly recalling a common one.

A solving move for this pattern

A useful solving correction: do not read the final E as proof that a candidate is a verb or singular noun. PEOPLE, HIPPIE, YUPPIE, and MAGPIE show very different word types, while SHOPPE and YIPPEE add unusual spellings. The twelve common-frequency entries give this frame more everyday footholds than the tiny P-ending-O group, but most matches still sit outside that band.

Keep the fixed positions in place while testing the remaining letters against your rack and crossings. Compare the strongest scoring option with the familiar anchor before committing a play.
