6-letter words with S as the 1st letter and S as the 6th letter

The S-to-S group has 910 matches, compared with 561 six-letter words that start with C and end with S. That makes the repeated-S pattern unusually broad among the nearby starting-letter choices. Try STATES, STORES, or SHIRTS when you want recognizable candidates rather than obscure entries.

Endings vary sharply across six-letter words that begin with S: 291 end in Y, 287 in E, and 267 in D, compared with 910 ending in S. If your puzzle fixes the last tile, that contrast can quickly rule out the wrong pattern. For another ending, compare the S-first lists ending in R or T.

Which S-to-S words score well?

SAZZES scores 24 points, far above the 9.2-point average for this group. SQUIBS, SQUABS and SMAZES each score 17, while SQUADS, SQUIDS, SKIFFS and SIXTHS each score 16. Those high values come from letters such as Z, Q, and K, not from the repeated S tiles.

The 910 matches are not all everyday choices: only 125 count among the most frequent English words. Collins has 895, NWL2023 has 646, and ENABLE has 606, so dictionary coverage changes by game. Check your game's word list before relying on a less familiar entry.

Questions people ask

How many common six-letter words start and end with S?
125 of the 910 S-to-S matches are among the top 25,000 English words by frequency. STATES, SERIES, and STATUS are recognizable examples, while many other entries are less familiar. The common-word count is a useful filter, but it does not tell you which dictionary accepts a word.
What is the highest-scoring six-letter word that starts and ends with S?
SAZZES scores 24 points, the highest score among the listed examples for this pattern. SQUIBS and SQUABS follow at 17 points each. The high score comes from the Z or Q tile, so a strong letter matters more than the repeated S.
Do all S-to-S words appear in every game dictionary?
No, the dictionary totals differ: Collins has 895 matches, NWL2023 has 646, and ENABLE has 606. The full set includes words accepted by at least one tournament dictionary, not necessarily every game's word list. Check the dictionary used by your game before playing an unfamiliar word.
