Which 6-letter words have U second and I fifth?
MUZJIK leads at 28 points. MUZHIK and QULLIQ each score 24, while SUFFIX reaches 19 and SUBFIX 18. The top three are specialist forms, unlike familiar PUBLIC, SUMMIT and SUBMIT; verify a rare candidate against your game’s dictionary before playing it.
A practical way to use the pattern
Do not assume the position pattern pins down one ending: E closes 47 entries, but the rest spread widely. If you know the last letter, combine it with the starting-letter counts; B and M each offer the largest first-letter groups.
Recognizing U second with I fifth
PUBLIC, RUSSIA, SUMMIT, SUBMIT, OUTFIT, RUSTIC and MUFFIN are easy to recognize; AUNTIE, PUNDIT and TURNIP add different endings and meanings; These examples are more practical memory cues than the rare high scorers, especially when solving from partial letters.
Final E is the largest group, but it still covers fewer than a third of all 175 matches; The next endings, N and S, account for 30 and 25; That spread makes the pattern useful with partial-board clues: combine the known final letter with a likely opening, then compare recognizable words such as PUBLIC, OUTFIT, MUFFIN and PUNDIT before considering specialist scoring terms.
Compare SUMMIT and SUBMIT: both place U second and I fifth, yet their middle letters change the meaning sharply; PUNDIT and TURNIP offer different final letters, which is useful when the clue already gives you the last tile.
