5-letter words with T as the 3rd letter and T as the 4th letter

A fixed TT pair narrows the search, but the outer letters still leave room for very different words: petty, latte, motto, and watts all fit. The 90 entries come from the combined tournament-dictionary lists, not a single dictionary. Counts overlap: the set includes 64 ENABLE entries, 87 Collins entries, and 71 NWL2023 entries.

At a glance: the double-T pattern

• There are 90 five-letter matches, with T fixed in positions three and four.
• The final letter is Y for 33 words and S for 20, the two largest ending groups.
• B begins 15 entries, while P begins 13; those are the leading starting letters.
• Only 19 entries fall within the top 25,000 English words by frequency.
• Jetty, jotty, and jutty each score 15 points in Scrabble.

Which 5-letter words with TT in the middle end in Y?

Y is the most common ending by a clear margin: 33 matches end that way, compared with 20 ending in S. Petty, kitty, and witty are familiar examples of the Y group; watts shows how the same middle pattern can finish with S.

The starting letters vary, too. B leads with 15 words, followed by P with 13; M contributes 8. Everyday-looking choices such as motto, ditto, and latte sit alongside less familiar entries, so a recognizable spelling is not a guarantee that every game accepts it.

How should you use the pattern in Wordle?

Treat the two T positions as confirmed and test the open slots, rather than spending guesses on words that move either T. There are 18 matching Wordle answers and 89 allowed guesses, so the guess pool is much broader than the answer pool. Check the Wordle solver when you need to separate those lists.

For Scrabble, jetty, jotty, and jutty top the score ranking at 15 points each; kitty follows at 12. A high score does not make an obscure entry a safe play. Most matches are outside the common-word group, so check your game's word list before committing one to the board.
