6 Letter Words Starting With E


6 Letter Words Starting With E

Okay, let's talk six-letter words starting with E. You know, the unsung heroes of the English language. I have some opinions.

The Usual Suspects

Enough

Ugh, enough. This word is so... final. Like, "I've had enough of your six-letter word games!" See? Annoying.

Energy

Energy. We all need it, few of us have it. Mostly required for doing things we don't want to, like adulting.

Engine

An engine powers things. Cars, trains, and my constant need for caffeine. It gets the job done, I guess.

My Personal Favorites (and Least Favorites)

Escape

Now escape is a good one! It implies adventure and getting away from it all. I endorse this word.

Employ

To employ. This word is a trap. Used mostly when describing having a job, meaning a sacrifice of all free time.

Extend

We use extend to mean to make longer. It works with a wide range of subjects. Like, I hope this article doesn’t extend for too long!

Some Surprisingly Common Ones

Eleven

Yep, eleven! It's a number. Sort of a weird one, if you think about it. Why not "oneteen?"

Ensure

To ensure. We use it to make sure everything goes smoothly. Let's ensure this is an interesting read.

The Ones You Probably Forgot Exist

Evolve

To evolve. This brings up images of Darwin and monkeys. It basically means changing over time.

Equity

Equity is all about fairness. Except, life isn't always fair. Deep thoughts, I know.

Export

To export. Sending stuff to other countries. It can relate to cars and goods, I guess.

The "Eh, Okay" Category

Emerge

To emerge. Like a butterfly from a cocoon. Or me, from my blanket on a Monday morning.

Earnest

To be earnest is to be sincere. It’s a nice quality, but let’s not be too earnest, okay?

Either

Either this or that”. I do not know either whether I like this word.

My Unpopular Opinion About 6-Letter E Words

Here it comes... I think "expect" is overrated. It sets you up for disappointment. Just saying.

Expect

To expect, it means to look forward to something happening. But when it doesn't, the feels are so bad!

Also, "effect" and "affect" are just cruel. Why must the English language torture us so?
