With U fixed in slot two and K fixed at the end, the remaining positions still produce only a small tournament-valid set. Five words begin with M, while N contributes two; K, O, S, and T appear once each. These entries are unusually obscure for everyday play: none falls within the top 25,000 English words by wordfreq frequency.

6-letter words with U as the 2nd letter and K as the 6th letter

  • Exactly 11 tournament-dictionary entries match the fixed U-second, K-final pattern.
  • Every match ends in K; five start with M, and two start with N.
  • The other first letters are K, O, S, and T, with one word for each.
  • Collins and NWL2023 include all 11; ENABLE includes 8.
  • Nine entries have dictionary definitions, and the average tile score is 15.4.

Which words fit this letter pattern?

The examples include MUSICK, NUBUCK, MUZHIK, MUKLUK, NUDNIK, MUKTUK, SUSLIK, TUGRIK, KUDLIK, and MUZJIK. OUTASK is the only example beginning with O, while five of the 11 start with M.

The final letter makes this pattern especially narrow. With U still in the second position, ending in S instead gives 507 matches, compared with just 11 ending in K. Even the E-second, K-final pattern has 41 entries. If your clue allows the last letter to change, check those larger groups before searching obscure vocabulary.

Which U-and-K words score the most?

  • MUZHIK follows at 24 points, ten more than MUKLUK or MUKTUK at 16.
