Which words match these letter positions?

CREDIT, PROFIT, and CRISIS are recognizable matches; ORIGIN, TRAGIC, and CRITIC fit too. Each has six letters, with R second and I fifth, so the known letters stay fixed while you test the remaining slots.

Use the first or last letter to narrow your search further. P begins 15 matches, while U begins 14. At the final position, C and S each occur 22 times, making either ending a strong clue when the crossing letters are uncertain.

6-letter words with R as the 2nd letter and I as the 5th letter

For 6-letter words with R as the 2nd letter and I as the 5th letter, start with familiar candidates such as CREDIT, PROFIT, or ARCTIC. PREFIX and PRAXIS give you alternatives when those letters do not fit your board.

CROJIK scores 19 points, the highest total among these matches; PREFIX and FRAZIL are close behind at 18 each. Those strong tile values reward a careful look at premium squares. Vocabulary is a real limitation: only 16 entries rank among the most common English words, and acceptance depends on your game's dictionary.
