The R-E opening is a big one: its 539 matches exceed the R-A group’s 249 and the R-O group’s 188. Familiar choices include REALLY, REASON, REPORT, RECORD, RETURN, and RESULT. Still, only 101 entries sit among the top 25,000 English words by frequency, so expect less familiar forms beyond the everyday core.

At a glance: the R-E pattern

539 entries match the exact six-letter pattern, with R and E fixed in positions one and two.
REALLY, REASON, REPORT, RECORD, RETURN, and RESULT are familiar examples from the set.
101 entries fall within the top 25,000 English words by wordfreq frequency.
S is the most common final letter with 117 matches; E follows at 96, then D at 68.
Source totals are Collins 533, NWL2023 466, and ENABLE 439; the dictionaries overlap.

Which R-E words score highest in Scrabble?

REZZES leads the Scrabble score list at 24 points, far ahead of REBOZO at 17. REFLEX and REFLUX each score 16, while REJECT, RESIZE, REZONE, REQUIN, REZERO, and REQUIT each reach 15. The standout score comes from the double Z, not from the common RE opening.

Treat those values as tile-score comparisons, not a promise of a particular board total: premium squares and crosswords change the play’s score. REZZES is a specialist word, while REFLEX and REFLUX are easier to recognize.

6-letter words with R as the 1st letter and E as the 2nd letter

This pattern has a clear final-letter skew: 117 words end in S, 96 in E, and 68 in D. When a clue fixes the opening but not the finish, check S and E endings first; that order narrows the search faster than treating every ending equally.

Compared with R-E, the R-A pattern has 249 matches and R-O has 188; R-I has 135, R-U has 117, and R-H only 30. R-E produces more than twice as many words as R-H. One limitation: only 101 entries rank among the top 25,000 English words, so a pattern match is not a promise of a familiar word.

Questions people ask

How many six-letter words start with RE?

There are 539 six-letter words with R in position one and E in position two across the tournament dictionaries counted here. Familiar examples include REASON, RECORD, and RESULT, but only 101 entries fall within the top 25,000 English words by frequency.

What is the highest-scoring R-E word in Scrabble?

REZZES is the highest-scoring word in this group at 24 points. REBOZO scores 17, while REFLEX and REFLUX each score 16. Those are tile scores before board premiums, so a 24-point word does not guarantee a 24-point play on a particular board.

Are all R-E words accepted in every word game?

No. The source totals differ: Collins has 533 entries, NWL2023 has 466, and ENABLE has 439, with overlap between dictionaries. A word accepted under one list can be rejected under another, so check the lexicon used by your game when legality matters.
