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

This is the largest group here by a wide margin, with 33 common entries and 105 defined words. The first letters vary: G leads with 29 matches, followed by T with 22, B with 21, and C with 20. That variety makes the second-position clue more useful than guessing the opening letter.

Which starting letters appear most often before the fixed R?

G is the most common opening, with 29 candidates. T follows at 22, then B at 21 and C at 20; A contributes 18 and P contributes 16. Most candidates begin with a letter other than G, so the pattern stays broad.

The examples cover familiar openings: create, bridge, prince, orange, arrive, praise, and triple. Freeze, breeze, and fringe show how a second R can lead to different consonant clusters. Use the leading counts to prioritize guesses only when the first position is still unknown.

What to know before using the top scores

Freeze and frieze each score 18, ahead of bronze and breeze at 17. With 168 matches, the score leader is not a shortcut to the answer; use the fixed R and final E first, then narrow by the first letter or a known middle tile.

This is a broad search frame, so the frequency leaders are a practical opening shortlist rather than a complete answer. Create, bridge, prince, orange, arrive, and praise cover six distinct first letters while preserving the fixed second R and final E.

The 33 common entries form a useful subset, but they are only part of this broad pattern. Create and bridge start differently; prince and orange do too. Use that range as a reminder that the second-position R clue does not determine a particular first letter.
