A fixed T in the second position leaves plenty of variety, but the list has a strong shape: 223 entries start with S, and 173 end with S. Examples range from familiar forms like strengthening to specialist terms such as stoichiometry. Use the opening and ending patterns to narrow the candidates before you commit tiles.

Key facts about this 13-letter pattern

The pattern contains 295 tournament-dictionary entries.
S starts 223 entries; E and A follow with 29 and 24.
S is also the most common ending, appearing on 173 words.
Collins includes 277 entries, compared with 191 in NWL2023 and 155 in ENABLE.
Only 6 entries rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency.

Which letters surround the fixed T?

Most candidates begin ST: strengthening, statistically, strategically, and stabilization all put S before the required T. The remaining openings are less crowded; E contributes 29 words and A contributes 24. That makes the first letter a quick filter when your rack or crossing tiles already rule out S.

The final letter offers another strong clue. S closes 173 words, while Y closes 24 and G closes 21. Among the examples, statistically ends in Y and strengthening ends in G, so checking the final tile can separate two otherwise plausible long entries.

How should you use 13-letter words with T as the 2nd letter?

For Scrabble scoring, stockjobbings leads at 31 points, followed by ethylbenzenes at 30. Stickybeaking and etymologizing each score 29. The average score across the pattern is 18.8, but the top scorers are unusual vocabulary, not words to assume an opponent will know.

Frequency is the main limitation: just 6 entries fall within the top 25,000 English words, and only 209 have definitions in the underlying word resource. Dictionary coverage also differs, from 155 entries in ENABLE to 277 in Collins, so check the word list used in your game.

Questions people ask

Which 13-letter words have T as their second letter and start with S?

Many entries in this pattern start with S. Strengthening, statistically, strategically, and stabilization are examples, and S begins 223 of the 295 words. If the first tile is fixed, try the ST opening before testing less common initial letters.

What is the highest-scoring word in this group?

Stockjobbings scores 31 points, the highest score in the group. Ethylbenzenes follows at 30, while stickybeaking and etymologizing each score 29. These are raw word scores before any board-square bonuses.

Are most 13-letter words with T second common words?

No. Only 6 of the 295 entries are among the top 25,000 English words by frequency. Strengthening and statistically are recognizable examples, but many entries are specialist or uncommon vocabulary, so frequency alone is not a reliable guide to game validity.
