How many 6-letter words have R first and E fourth?

There are 161 matches. Collins accounts for 159, NWL2023 for 139, and ENABLE for 130, with overlap between those dictionary counts.

A Collins-valid word is not automatically accepted in a North American game, so check the game's word list when a close call matters. The gap between the dictionary totals shows why one universal yes-or-no answer can mislead.

RECENT and REPEAT make familiar starting points, while REVEAL and REJECT are clear everyday verbs. RIVERS and RIDERS show the pull toward S endings: 66 matches end in S, well ahead of the 28 that end in T.

Which matches score highest in Scrabble?

RYPECK tops the scoring list at 17 points, followed by RAZEED at 16. REJECT, REZERO, RAZEES, RAZERS, and ROZETS each score 15. The average score for this pattern is 8.8, making RYPECK a sharp outlier rather than a typical play.

REJECT is a more recognizable 15-point option, while RYPECK depends on board placement and acceptance in your game's dictionary. Although 123 entries have definitions, only 24 count as common; tournament validity does not make every match everyday vocabulary. For 6-letter words with R as the 1st letter and E as the 4th letter, rare entries deserve a quick dictionary check before you commit.
