6-letter words with Y as the 3rd letter and E as the 4th letter

This fixed pattern leaves just four common words among the 43 tournament-dictionary matches. The endings are unusually concentrated: 24 finish in S and 14 in T, while only five end in other letters. That makes the final tile a strong clue when you are narrowing a rack or solving a word pattern.

What stands out in this Y-E letter pattern?

• 43 six-letter entries match the Y-third, E-fourth pattern.
• S is the final letter in 24 matches; T ends 14.
• S also starts the most words, with eight, ahead of F and T at six each.
• Only four matches rank among the commonest English words.
• GAYETY reaches 13 points in the Scrabble scoring.

Which endings dominate these six-letter words?

S and T account for 38 of the 43 endings, so test those letters early when the last square is unknown. LAYERS, BUYERS, PAYERS, and FLYERS show the familiar plural or agent-noun shape; GAYEST and SHYEST show a different route to the same pattern.

The five exceptions are sharply split: two words end in E, two in Y, and one in R. PAYEE and TUYERE illustrate how unlike the common S-ending examples the tail can become. The first letters also spread across several choices, led by S with eight, then F and T with six each.

The score leaders include GAYETY, GRYESY, SKYERS, KEYERS, and KEYEST at 13 points. FLYERS, FRYERS, FOYERS, SHYEST, and FLYEST score 12. These are tile scores before board bonuses, so a premium square can change the play's value.

Dictionary coverage differs: ENABLE accepts 29 matches, Collins 38, and NWL2023 35; those totals overlap rather than adding to 43. Thirty-six entries have definitions, leaving seven without one. Many matches are uncommon, so check your game's word list before relying on an unfamiliar form.
