5-letter words with L as the 3rd letter and T as the 5th letter

Every match here ends in T, and the LET ending does most of the work: FILET, INLET, ISLET, OWLET, VALET, AGLET, GILET and CULET all share it. That fixed T makes the pattern easy to spot on a board, and ten of the thirty-one are Wordle answers, the highest share of any L pattern at this length. Only four words rank as common, so the rest stay in tournament play.

The L-third, T-fifth list at a glance

• 31 5-letter words match the pattern.
• All thirty-one end in T and fourteen end in LET.
• Ten are Wordle answers, close to a third of the list.
• WELKT scores 12, the highest in the group.
• Only INLET, PILOT, SPLIT and VALET count as common.

The LET ending runs the list

Fourteen of the thirty-one words close on LET, which is almost half. Some are everyday, like INLET, ISLET and VALET, while AGLET, CULET, GILET, OWLET, PALET, RELET, SALET, ABLET, UNLET and FILET lean obscure. VELDT, DELFT and MULCT are the main words outside the LET set.

Ten Wordle answers in thirty-one words

Ten of the thirty-one are Wordle answers, and they include some of the most guessable words in the list: ALLOT, ECLAT, FILET, INLET, ISLET, PILOT, SPLAT, SPLIT, UNLIT and VALET. All thirty-one are accepted guesses too.

Scoring is flat because no word carries a rare tile at the end. WELKT reaches 12, DELFT, VELDT and MULCT land on 9, and VALET, FILET, OWLET, HELOT and VOLET sit on 8. The group average is just 6.7, the lowest of the L patterns at this length.
