This pattern fixes two slots but leaves the first, third, fourth, and final letters open. That creates a varied set: travel and writer are familiar, while the top scorer, FRIZED, is much less so. Of the 395 matches, 74 rank among the most common English words, so start with recognizable candidates before reaching for rare plays.

6-letter words with R 2nd and E 5th at a glance

  • There are 395 matching words across tournament dictionaries.
  • The most common first letters are G and P, with 68 words each.
  • S is the most frequent final letter: 164 words end in S.
  • D comes next with 91 endings; R follows with 74.
  • FRIZED scores 19, while FROZEN and PRIZED each score 18.

Which words fit this letter pattern?

Try familiar examples first: travel, broken, prices, driver, proper, and writer all place R second and E fifth. Their endings also show why the final slot matters: prices ends in S, driver in R, and broken in N.

The first-letter split is unusually balanced at the top. G and P tie at 68 matches apiece, followed by C with 53 and B with 52. Starting with G or P gives you the broadest first-letter branch; the final-letter clues narrow it further, especially S or D.

How should you use this pattern in a word game?

For a familiar play, test words such as frozen, proven, traded, or argues against your known letters. If the last tile is S, the pattern has 164 matches; if it is D, it has 91. Treat those as separate candidate pools rather than scanning every match at once.

Dictionary coverage differs: Collins includes 391 of these words, NWL2023 includes 301, and ENABLE includes 282. Only 74 are common English words, and none are Wordle answers, so this pattern suits word-list and board-game solving better than answer hunting. Check your game's dictionary before relying on an unfamiliar entry.
