How many 6-letter words have R first and P sixth?

There are 12 tournament-dictionary words with R in the first position and P in the sixth. That is a short list beside the 315 words beginning with R and ending in S, so the final P sharply narrows this clue.

The neighboring pattern with S first and P last has 22 matches, still more than this R-to-P set. Counts differ by dictionary: 9 matches appear in ENABLE, while Collins and NWL2023 each include 11. Check your game's word list before playing a less familiar option.

Which R-to-P words score highest?

REVAMP is the scoring standout at 13 points, ahead of REPUMP at 12. REDCAP, RESHIP, REWRAP, and RIFLIP each score 11. RECOUP, RIPRAP, and REPULP sit at 10, making the top of the list a tight cluster rather than a single runaway score.

For a clue-solving attempt, start with recognizable choices such as REVAMP, RECOUP, and REWRAP, then test the remaining middle letters. The full set also includes ROLLUP, REDTOP, RAGTOP, REPUMP, REPULP, and RIFLIP. Only one of the 12 counts as common by frequency, so most of these are word-list plays rather than everyday vocabulary.

For 6-letter words with R as the 1st letter and P as the 6th letter, the score leader is not the only practical choice: REVAMP is familiar, while several 11-point alternatives provide different middle-letter possibilities.
