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

The pattern is _ _ _ R _ E: R holds the fourth position, and E closes every match. The 110 tournament-dictionary entries range from familiar COURSE, SOURCE, and CHARGE to less familiar QUARTE and WHARVE. Only 17 belong to the common-frequency group, so a valid answer may still look obscure.

The pattern at a glance

• 110 tournament-dictionary entries fit the pattern _ _ _ R _ E.
• 17 matches fall into the common-frequency group.
• S starts 25 matches, while C starts 13.
• QUARTE, WHARVE, WHERVE, and BAJREE each score 15 points.
• Collins includes 108 matches, compared with 62 in NWL2023 and 60 in ENABLE.

Which matches are easiest to recognize?

COURSE, SOURCE, and CHARGE are recognizable anchors; DEGREE, PIERCE, and FIERCE also fit the fixed slots. The middle letters create several familiar shapes, including -RSE, -RGE, and -RCE.

COURSE and SOURCE share OUR in positions two through four, but their first and fifth letters distinguish them. That shared run gives you a useful pattern check when you know the fourth letter but are still testing the surrounding tiles.

Frequency is the catch: just 17 of the 110 matches are common. Expect less familiar vocabulary alongside everyday words, and keep recognition separate from whether your game accepts an entry.

Which 6-letter words with R fourth and E sixth score most?

QUARTE, WHARVE, WHERVE, and BAJREE tie for the top listed Scrabble score at 15 points each. CHARGE and SWERVE score 12, giving you familiar alternatives when you do not want to rely on a rare entry. Board bonuses can change a play's result.

For 6-letter words with R fourth and E sixth, dictionary coverage matters: Collins has 108 matches, while NWL2023 has 62 and ENABLE has 60. Those totals overlap, so do not add them together; check your game's word list before playing a less familiar choice such as WHARVE.
