A fixed K in the fourth slot narrows this six-letter search to 36 tournament-dictionary entries. The familiar cluster includes WORKED, WALKED, WORKER, and WEEKLY, while WELKIN and WESKIT are less everyday choices. Ending clues narrow the field further: D and R account for most matches, and the top scorer is the unusual WUKKAS.

What stands out among W-and-K words

  • The pattern has 36 six-letter matches across tournament dictionaries.
  • WORKED and WALKED are familiar examples, with W first and K in slot four.
  • D is the most common final letter: 9 matches end that way.
  • Ten matches fall among the top 25,000 English words by frequency.
  • WUKKAS scores 17 points, ahead of WEEKLY, WICKED, WEAKLY, and WACKED at 16.

Do all word lists include the same matches?

The three tournament lists differ: Collins includes 35 matches, NWL2023 includes 27, and ENABLE includes 22. Their counts overlap, so do not add them to estimate the total; 36 is the combined match count.

Collins covers nearly the full set, but its 35 entries do not make every candidate playable in every game. WORKED, WALKED, and WORKER are easy to recognize; WELKIN and WESKIT are less familiar. Check your game's word list before playing an unusual form.

6-letter words with W as the 1st letter and K as the 4th letter

Tip

D and R together account for 17 matches. Try those endings first when the final tile is unknown, then check less frequent endings such as T, E, P, or Y.
