This is the biggest of the U patterns, and it is almost entirely verb forms. Four endings account for 242 of the 254 words: -ED (136), -ES (68), -ER (25) and -EN (13). The prefix UN- starts 201 and UP- starts 31, so the middle letters do the real sorting.

Pattern facts for U _ _ _ _ E _

Collins takes 247 of the words, NWL2023 takes 185 and ENABLE takes 162.
Nine words are common English: UNCOVER, UMPIRES, UNIFIED, UPDATED, UNARMED, UNNAMED, UNRAVEL, UPDATES and UTTERED.
Thirty-one words score 15 or more, against an average of 11.
Fourth-letter A starts the biggest group with 81 words, then I with 59, O with 34 and E with 19.

Which words score the most with U first and E sixth?

UNFAZED and UPGAZED make 20. UPGAZES and UPSIZED make 19, and UNFIXED, UNVEXED, UNWAXED, UNVAXED and UPSIZES make 18. UNBOXED, UNMIXED and UNRAZED make 17.

UNFAZED, UPGAZED, UPGAZES, UNFIXED, UNVEXED and UNWAXED pass in every major list. UPSIZED and UPSIZES pass in Collins and NWL2023 but not ENABLE, and UNVAXED passes in NWL2023 only.

About one word in eight reaches 15, since 31 of 254 do. That makes this pattern a natural place to look when you hold an X, Z, V or K.

Which fifth letter gives the most words?

R leads with 26 words, followed by V with 23, T with 21 and K with 20. L has 17, N has 15 and X has 13.

The V group is the most useful for points. UNCOVER, UNRAVEL, UNLOVED, UNMOVED, UNPAVED and UNSAVED all sit there, and V is worth 4 points.

T is the fifth letter in 21 words and K in 20. UNRATED, UNDATED and UNBATED sit in the -TED group, and UNBAKED, UNCAKED, UNFAKED and UNYOKED sit in the -KED group, so both are worth testing early.

Dictionary warning

Note

ENABLE lacks 92 of the 254 words, and 69 appear in Collins with neither NWL2023 nor ENABLE. Seven are NWL2023-only, including UNVAXED, UNMUTED and UNGREEN.
