Lock R into the second slot and S into the last, and four letters remain open. That pattern catches everyday words such as groups and prices, along with less familiar game entries. The list draws from tournament dictionaries, so its full count is broader than any single game’s word list.

At a glance: a crowded S ending

  • 583 matches meet both fixed positions, with S closing every entry.
  • 99 rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency.
  • 494 entries have definitions.
  • Collins includes 576; NWL2023 includes 436.
  • The average tile score is 9.3.

How many 6-letter words have R second and S sixth?

There are 583 6-letter words with R as the 2nd letter and S as the 6th letter in the combined tournament-dictionary count. The pattern leaves four changing slots, so the list ranges from ordinary words such as groups and orders to less familiar entries.

Among familiar examples, prices, troops, brings, breaks, tracks, drinks, writes, trends, trials, and trains show how often the shape fits plurals or third-person verbs. Crisis is a memorable singular exception: its final S is part of the spelling, not a plural ending.

The first letter is especially concentrated in B, C, G, and T: those groups contribute 76, 75, 73, and 73 words. P adds 64, while A has 46, so a known first letter can narrow the search sharply.

Scoring and dictionary limits for this pattern

Scoring gives a different shortlist. PRIZES scores 17 points, alongside CRAZES, BRAZAS, CROZES, BRAZES, PREZES, and BRIZES. Several high scorers are less familiar than PRIZES, so check your board and your game’s dictionary before committing.

PRIZES is easier to recognize and shares its 17-point value with those less familiar options. On a premium letter square, a high-value letter can matter more than an unusual six-letter word; preserve the S ending and test the crossing letters before choosing.

6-letter words with R as the 2nd letter and S as the 6th letter are not evenly represented across dictionaries: Collins has 576, but NWL2023 has 436. The combined count is not a promise that every entry works in your game, so use the relevant word list when tournament validity matters.

Questions people ask

How many words have R as the second letter and S at the end?
There are 583 six-letter matches across the tournament dictionaries counted here. The list includes familiar words such as groups, orders, and prices, but the total is not the count for any one dictionary. Your game’s word list determines which entries you can play.
Which words in this pattern score highly?
PRIZES scores 17 points, as do CRAZES, BRAZAS, CROZES, BRAZES, PREZES, and BRIZES. The high-scoring options include less familiar spellings, so weigh the tile score against your board position and the word list used in your game.
Are all 583 words accepted in Collins and NWL2023?
No. Collins contains 576 matches, while NWL2023 contains 436. The total counts words appearing in at least one tournament dictionary, so some entries do not appear in both lists. Check the dictionary your game uses before playing an unfamiliar word.
