The pattern is ___RE_: R must occupy position four, and E must sit immediately after it. The matches range from DEGREE and SECRET to less familiar plays such as IMBREX. Collins has 321 of them, while NWL2023 has 207 and ENABLE has 203, so the exact playable set depends on your game's dictionary.

What stands out in the R-E pattern

  • 322 entries fit the fixed fourth-letter R and fifth-letter E pattern.
  • Collins lists 321 matches; NWL2023 lists 207, and ENABLE lists 203.
  • Only 51 matches rank among the 25,000 most frequent English words tracked by wordfreq.
  • DEGREE, SECRET, SHARED, and SCORED are recognizable examples.
  • IMBREX leads the scoring list at 17 points.
  • D endings dominate: 108 finish in D, compared with 98 ending in S.

Which matches are easiest to spot?

Start with familiar examples such as DEGREE, SECRET, SHARED, SCORED, and STORES; each keeps RE in the fourth and fifth slots. The frequency split is a reality check: just 51 matches sit among the 25,000 most frequent English words, though 238 have dictionary definitions. Many valid entries are less familiar, so a matching pattern does not guarantee an everyday word.

The first letter offers another narrowing clue. S begins 73 matches, far ahead of F at 23 and P at 21; SECRET, SHARED, and SCORED show why S is a productive first guess when your opening letter is unknown. Because so many start with S, try it only when the first-position clue remains open rather than overfitting to the most common initial.

6-letter words with R as the 4th letter and E as the 5th letter

The final slot narrows the pattern too: 108 matches end in D, versus 98 in S. If your clue fixes the last letter, test those endings first; SHARED and SCORED show the D ending, while STORES ends in S.

Scoring pulls in less familiar choices: IMBREX leads at 17 points, followed by QUIRED at 16. The neighboring R+A pattern has 174 matches, and R+I has 163, both smaller than this R+E set. A high score does not make a word familiar, and counts combine Collins, NWL2023, and ENABLE, so check your game's word list before playing a rare entry.

Questions people ask

How many six-letter words have R fourth and E fifth?
There are 322 six-letter matches with R in position four and E in position five. Familiar examples include DEGREE, SECRET, and SHARED. The dictionary sets differ: Collins has 321 matches, while NWL2023 has 207 and ENABLE has 203.
What are some common words with R fourth and E fifth?
DEGREE, SECRET, SHARED, SCORED, and STORES are recognizable options that fit the pattern. Only 51 matches rank within the 25,000 most frequent English words tracked by wordfreq, so many other valid entries are less familiar.
What is the highest-scoring word in this pattern?
IMBREX is the highest-scoring match at 17 points. QUIRED follows at 16 points. Those scores make them worth noticing in a word game, but both are less familiar than examples such as SECRET or SHARED, and your game’s dictionary determines whether a word is playable.
