7-letter words with E as the 3rd letter and K as the 6th letter

Only 14 tournament-dictionary entries fit, and none ranks as common in our frequency measure. The endings are unusually concentrated: 10 finish in E, while REEBOKS and RHEBOKS end in S. That split gives you a fast filter when the final tile is still uncertain.

Pattern facts at a glance

• NWL2023 includes all 14 matches; Collins includes 13, and ENABLE includes 11.

• BREWSKI, HOECAKE, and RHEBOKS tie for the top tile score at 16.

7-letter words with E as the 3rd letter and K as the 6th letter

The 14 matches do not form one tidy word family. APELIKE, ICELIKE, EYELIKE, BEELIKE, HOELIKE, and TOELIKE share the -LIKE ending, while PREBAKE and PREMAKE offer two recognizable compounds. REEBOKS and REEvoke take a different route.

That mix matters when fixed tiles leave several blanks: an ending clue can narrow the candidates faster than a first-letter guess. E is the most common final letter, appearing in 10 matches; only two end in S, and one each ends in I or Y. Keep those four non-E endings in play.

The pattern is sparse beside several other third-letter choices with K fixed sixth: T has 42 matches and R has 38, against E's 14. Keep E in the third spot but change the sixth to E, though, and the count jumps to 752.

How should you use this pattern?

For 7-letter words with E as the 3rd letter and K as the 6th letter, check your game's dictionary before committing to an unfamiliar candidate. Only 11 matches appear in ENABLE, compared with 13 in Collins and 14 in NWL2023. A word accepted in one list can still fail in another.

BREWSKI, HOECAKE, and RHEBOKS each score 16 on tile values; PREMAKE and PREBAKE follow at 15. Those scores rank the words by their letters, not by a particular board position. None of the 14 entries is common, so confirm an unusual fit before spending a turn.

When your remaining letters support -LIKE, check APELIKE, ICELIKE, EYELIKE, BEELIKE, HOELIKE, and TOELIKE first. PREBAKE and PREMAKE offer two more recognizable builds, while the three 16-point choices reward you for spotting less familiar forms.
