Technological, traditionally and theoretically share a shape with most of the list: a Greek or Latin root plus a heavy suffix. TRANS- alone opens 99 entries and TRI- another 65. Average Scrabble is 19.6, and the two best words both start with TACHY-.
T words at thirteen letters
- 665 words start with T, eleventh among opening letters at this length.
- TRANS- opens 99, TRI- 65, TELE- 34, THERMO- 28 and TECHNO- 16.
- 333 end in S, 72 in Y and 48 in E.
- 9 entries count as common English and the average score is 19.6.
- Collins takes 633 of the group, NWL2023 394 and ENABLE 321.
TRANS and TRI start 164 of the words
TRANS- covers 99 entries, such as transcription, transmissions and translational. TRI- adds 65 more, from triangulation to triglycerides, and TELE-, THERMO- and TECHNO- bring the five-root total to 242.
Those roots explain the spelling but not the tactic. T pairs with a vowel in most of the list, and 123 words carry a Y somewhere, so a rack holding both letters has plenty of room to work.
Rare tiles are spread thinly here: 13 words contain a Q and 18 an X, while 123 carry a Y. That spread is why the average, at 19.6, stays close to the thirteen-letter norm of 20.4.
Tachyphylaxes and the top scorers
tachyphylaxes and tachyphylaxis tie on 36 points, and both are Collins-only, so the two best words in the group are unavailable in North American play.
thymectomized reaches 35 with a Z, and thymectomizes 34. taxidermizing, tranquilizing and tranquillized follow at 33 and 32, all of them leaning on the same letter.
270 of the 665 appear in Collins but not in NWL2023, and only 9 count as common words. Check the tournament list before you commit to a 36-point play.
The T start in a rack
Tip
T is worth one point, so the score here comes from the middle and end of the word. About a third of the entries open with TRANS-, TRI-, TELE-, THERMO- or TECHNO-, which makes them easy to spot.
Questions people ask
How many 13-letter words start with T?
665. That places T eleventh among opening letters at this length, just behind E on 672 and ahead of H on 598. Only nine of the 665 are common English words.
Which prefixes dominate the 13-letter T words?
TRANS- opens 99 words, TRI- 65 and TELE- 34. THERMO- and TECHNO- add 44 more, so five roots cover 242 entries, about a third of the list.
What is the highest-scoring 13-letter word starting with T?
Tachyphylaxes and tachyphylaxis tie on 36 points, and both are Collins-only. Thymectomized follows at 35 with a Z, and tranquilizing is worth 32 on its Q.
