The pattern is W _ _ B _ _, so the fourth position is fixed while the other four letters vary. WOBBLY, WOBBLE, and WOMBAT are recognizable examples; the full group also includes unusual forms such as WOOBUT and WOUBIT. None of the matches falls into the common-word group, so expect some unfamiliar entries alongside everyday vocabulary.

- 17 six-letter matches begin with W and place B fourth.
- WOBBLY, WAMBLY, and WABBLY each score 16 points.

Which words fit the W _ _ B _ _ pattern?
WOBBLE, WOBBLY, WOMBAT, WEBBED, and WARBLE are the clearest familiar examples. Their different endings show how much the fixed B can sit inside otherwise varied word shapes: WOBBLE ends in E, while WEBBED ends in D and WARBLE ends in E.
The remaining entries include WABBIT, WIBBLE, WEBBIE, WIMBLE, WABBLE, WARБLY, WAMBLY, WABBLY, WAMBLE, WOMBEd, WOOBUT, and WOUBIT. Some are uncommon or variant forms, so a familiar-looking pattern does not guarantee that every game accepts every match.
6-letter words with W as the 1st letter and B as the 4th letter
For a high-scoring play, start by checking WOBBLY, WAMBLY, and WABBLY: each is worth 16 points before board premiums. WEBBED, WARбLY, and WOMBEd score 14, while WOBBLE, WOMBAT, WABBIT, and WIBBLE score 13.
When solving a pattern, write W and B into their fixed slots first, then test the ending. E is the most frequent final letter, with seven matches; T and Y tie at four each. That makes E a sensible first ending to check, but the small total means an obscure alternative may still be the answer.
