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

The pattern is _ _ _ R _ N: R locks the fourth slot, while N closes every answer. Familiar picks include WARREN, PATRON, NEURON, and OUTRUN, but only five matches count as common by our frequency measure. For a quick solve, check the first three letters before reaching for less familiar entries such as FIBRIN or MACRON.

Pattern facts at a glance

• The exact pattern has 52 tournament-dictionary matches, and every one ends in N.
• F and M tie for the most common first letter, with seven matches apiece; C follows with five.
• Only five entries are common by our frequency measure, so expect many unfamiliar options.
• WARREN, PATRON, NEURON, OUTRUN, and MICRON are recognizable examples.
• DZeren scores 16 points; CHYRON follows at 14, making them the top two scores.

Why is this R-and-N pattern relatively narrow?

The final N sharply narrows the search: the same fourth-position R pattern ending in S has 414 matches, compared with 52 ending in N. If N is certain, keep it fixed and test the open letters before R rather than swapping the last letter too soon.

First-letter clues can trim the options further. F and M each start seven matches, while C starts five; P and S each start four. WARREN and PATRON show how different openings can still land on the same _ _ _ R _ N frame.

The scoring standouts are not necessarily the easiest plays to recognize. DZeren reaches 16 points, CHYRON scores 14, and MIKRON scores 12; more familiar choices include FIBRIN at 11 and MACRON, MICRON, and HADRON at 10 apiece.

The 52-match count combines tournament dictionaries: 51 entries appear in Collins, 35 in NWL2023, and 33 in ENABLE. Not every word belongs to every list. Most matches are uncommon, so check your game's dictionary before committing an unfamiliar option.
