With E locked in sixth place, only one slot remains after it, and the alphabet funnels into just a few choices. D closes 237 words, R closes 226 and S closes 146. Everything else, from N to E, shares a thin remainder.

The U-E-sixth list in numbers

Dictionary counts: Collins 651, NWL2023 494, ENABLE 448.
75 words are common enough to sit in the top 25,000, including STUDIES, SOURCES, YOUNGER and JOURNEY.
First letters: S opens 145, C opens 87, B opens 69, P opens 49.
The average score is 11.5, helped by SCUZZES at 27.
Only 12 words end in E and 19 in N.

Which 7-letter words with U 3rd and E 6th end in -ED or -ER?

The -TED family is largest at 44 words, from TRUSTED, COUNTED and MOUNTED to HAUNTED. -TER follows with 39 (COUNTER, CLUSTER, SHUTTER, CLUTTER) and -IER with 35, such as STUDIER and SAUCIER.

Next in line are -HED with 28 (TOUCHED, CRUSHED, FLUSHED), -GED with 27 (PLUGGED, DRUGGED, PLUNGED) and -DER with 26. Pairs such as STUDIED and STUDIER differ only in the last letter, so one wrong guess there costs you little.

How many of them are everyday words?

About one in nine: 75 of 671 rank in the top 25,000 English words. That is a decent hit rate for guessing, because the common ones cluster around plain verb forms like LAUGHED, WOUNDED and TOUCHED. Start with a D ending if you must pick one, since D leads R by 237 to 226.

The rest are Collins territory, with plenty of obscure entries. Confirm your game's list before playing something like KLUTZES or CHUKKER.

Scoring tip for Z and K tiles

Tip

SCUZZES scores 27 on two 10-point Zs, and KLUTZES scores 20 with one Z and a 5-point K. Both beat the 11.5 average by a wide margin if your rack has a spare Z.
