The pattern is _U___S: U stays in the second position, and S closes every match. HUMANS, GUESTS, JUDGES, DUTIES, and GUARDS are familiar anchors, but plenty of entries are less common. Counts include words accepted by at least one of ENABLE, Collins, or NWL2023; the three dictionary totals overlap, so adding them would overstate the list.

Pattern facts at a glance

All 507 matches place U second and S sixth, while the other four letter positions can vary.
Only 36 entries are classed as common, so familiar words sit beside less familiar tournament entries.
Collins includes 481 matches, NWL2023 includes 360, and ENABLE includes 304; these source sets overlap.
B is the most frequent first letter, with 57 matches; Q follows with 45 and M with 40.
A definition is available for 429 matches, but that does not guarantee acceptance in every game.

Which first letters appear most often?

The opening letter is unrestricted, but B leads by a clear margin: 57 matches begin with B, against 45 for Q and 40 for M. C contributes 37, while S and T each contribute 35.

That spread gives you a sensible solving order: test B, Q, M, C, and S once the two fixed letters are confirmed. HUMANS and GUARDS are easy anchors; QUOTES and QUEENS cover Q, while PUPILS and RULERS illustrate other shapes. The middle four positions still matter, so don't assume every word beginning with a common letter will fit your crossing tiles.

Among the 507 matches, just 36 are classed as common. The remaining tournament entries include specialist or less familiar forms; 429 have definitions, but a definition does not guarantee acceptance in your game. Check the game dictionary once before building a play around an obscure candidate.

Which matches score well in Scrabble?

FUZZES and HUZZAS top the Scrabble values at 27 points each. BUZZES, CUZZES, and MUZZES follow at 26, while QUACKS, QUICKS, and QUIFFS each score 21. Those high totals come from valuable letters, not from a guaranteed board result.

Premium squares and cross-words change the final score, so treat tile values as a starting comparison. For 6-letter words with U as the 2nd letter and S as the 6th letter, lock the U and S first, then test the changing letters against your rack. If the final letter is uncertain, compare the U-second lists ending in R or T.

Questions people ask

How many six-letter words have U second and S last?

There are 507 tournament-list matches for this pattern. Each word has U in position two and S in position six; the remaining four letters vary. Counts combine entries from ENABLE, Collins, and NWL2023, with overlaps counted once.

Which first letter occurs most often in these words?

B is the most frequent opening, with 57 matches. Q follows with 45, then M with 40; C has 37, and S and T each have 35. The pattern fixes neither the first letter nor the four letters between U and S.

What are the highest-scoring options?

FUZZES and HUZZAS each score 27 points on Scrabble tile values. BUZZES, CUZZES, and MUZZES each score 26. Board premiums and cross-words can change a play's final total, so these are base tile scores rather than board-score guarantees.
