The pattern is _ I _ T _, so the first and final letters remain open. Collins lists all 101 matches; ENABLE lists 79 and NWL2023 lists 80. Twenty matches are Wordle answers, and 25 words in the set rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency, making a manageable starting point before you test rarer plays.

5-letter words with I as the 2nd letter and T as the 4th letter

  • The pattern fixes I in position two and T in position four.
  • There are 101 tournament-dictionary matches across Collins, ENABLE, and NWL2023.
  • D and M each begin 11 matches, the most common starting letters.
  • S ends 45 matches, while Y ends 23 and H ends 13.
  • Miltz scores 16 points; SIXTH and SIXTY each score 15.

Which endings appear most often?

S is the clear leader at the final position: 45 words end in S, nearly twice the 23 ending in Y. H comes next with 13, followed by A with 9. That makes an S-ending guess a strong way to narrow the final slot, but it does not identify a single answer.

Everyday examples show the range: GIFTS, LISTS, and HINTS take the S ending, while DIRTY, WITTY, and MISTY finish with Y. Other recognizable options include BIRTH, WIDTH, and FIFTH. Start with the familiar words when solving; the full set also contains less common entries.

Which matching words suit Wordle or Scrabble?

Twenty words in this pattern are Wordle answers that also appear in a tournament dictionary. The available facts do not name those answers, so use the Wordle solver to check a specific candidate rather than treating every match as an answer. The pattern itself still leaves two letters unknown.

For 5-letter words with I as the 2nd letter and T as the 4th letter, SIXTH is a practical high-score example at 15 points; SIXTY also scores 15. MILTZ reaches 16, the top score, but familiar words such as WIDTH score 12. Dictionary coverage differs: Collins has 101 matches, against 79 in ENABLE and 80 in NWL2023, so check your game's word list before relying on an unfamiliar play.
