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

The pattern fixes R in the second and fifth slots, leaving four letters to vary. ORDERS and ERRORS show how familiar words fit, while FRATRY and ORRERY are less everyday examples. Dictionary coverage differs: Collins includes 48 matches, NWL2023 includes 41, and ENABLE includes 38, so game lists will not all match.

At a glance: the R-R pattern

• The pattern has 49 six-letter matches across the tournament dictionaries.
• ORDERS and ERRORS are recognizable examples with R in both fixed positions.
• The most frequent final letter is S, with 27 words; Y follows with 12.
• Only four entries qualify as common by the frequency measure.
• A as the first letter leads with 9 matches, just ahead of B with 8.

Which endings are most common in this pattern?

S and Y dominate the final slot: 27 matches end in S and 12 end in Y. Together, those endings account for 39 of the 49 words, so checking the last letter quickly narrows the search.

The other 10 end in E, D, A, I, M, or U. ORDERS, FRIARS, and DRYERS illustrate the S ending; DREARY and PRIORY show the Y group. The four common entries are a small slice of a set filled with less familiar forms.

Which R-R words score well, and what should you check?

FRYERS, FRIARY, FRATRY, and PREDRY tie for the top score at 12 points. ARMORY and PRIORY follow at 11. Those totals make the less common spellings worth remembering when a rack offers the right letters.

Dictionary coverage is the catch: the 49-word total combines entries from several tournament lists, while Collins has 48 and ENABLE has 38. Check your game's word list before relying on a rarer form such as FRATRY; ORDERS and ERRORS are easier everyday choices.
