A K in the sixth slot makes this a compact, high-value search. ASHCAKE and ASPICKS top the score list, while ATTACKS, ANORAKS and APELİKE-like AIRLIKE show more recognizable shapes. Only one entry reaches the common-word group, so the pattern is better for a constrained board than broad vocabulary recall.

K-sixth words at a glance

  • Twenty entries fit, and just one is in the common-word band.
  • ASHCAKE scores 16; ASPICKS follows at 15.
  • Nine words end in S and eight end in E.
  • The K-sixth sibling list includes 47 S-first matches.

How does the K-sixth slot narrow the search?

The endings nearly split in two: nine words close with S and eight with E. ATTACKS, ANORAKS and ALLIAKS show the S side; APELİKE is intentionally excluded from examples because the actual spelling is APELIKE, which ends in E. That balance makes the last square a useful filter rather than a predictable outcome.

ASHCAKE’s 16 points lead ASPICKS at 15, with AUTARKY at 14. ATTACKS and APELIKE each score 13. Most of the set is uncommon, and several spellings such as ATTASKT or ATABEKS are specialized; verify the accepted spelling before risking an unfamiliar play.

Choosing K-sixth words

Tip

When K is fixed at six, test both common-looking endings. The E and S groups are nearly even, so an assumed plural ending can hide an available E word.

Dictionary coverage for K-sixth entries

The source counts are uneven: Collins recognizes 18, NWL2023 13 and ENABLE 10 of the 20 total. Because the lists overlap, those figures describe coverage rather than separate piles to add.

ATTACKS gives an accessible starting point, but the top score belongs to ASHCAKE; verify any less familiar candidate in the dictionary your match uses.

AUTARKY is another scoring option, while ATTACKS is easier to recognize.

Its 12.5-point average is higher than the familiar examples suggest.
