Highest-scoring words
The pattern is _U_T_: the first and final letters remain open, but the middle slots are fixed. That leaves a mix of familiar choices such as quite, quote, suits, and dusty. The ending is especially telling: S and Y account for most of the final-letter results, so check those branches early when solving.
How many 5-letter words have U second and T fourth?
- The pattern _U_T_ matches 91 tournament-dictionary words.
- S is the final letter in 35 matches; Y is last in 24.
- B begins 9 matches, while M, P, and Q begin 8 each.
- The common-word group contains 22 matches, including quite, quote, and suits.
Which of these fit Wordle?
Seventeen matches appear in the Wordle answer list, and all 91 are allowed guesses. That makes the pattern broader as a guess bank than as an answer shortlist; a known U in slot two and T in slot four still leave plenty to test.
For everyday candidates, try quite, quote, suite, hurts, or rusty. The letter counts point to a practical next step: after checking the fixed U and T, test S or Y in the final slot before spending guesses on less common endings.
What do the pattern matches score?
Quoth and quyte lead the scoring results at 17 points apiece; jutty follows at 15. More familiar options quite, quote, quota, and quits each score 14, so a high-value opening Q can matter more than choosing a familiar word.
The dictionary pool changes the size of the list: Collins has 89 matches, NWL2023 has 72, and ENABLE has 70. Some entries are specialist or uncommon, so do not assume every option works in every game. Check the word list your game uses when a disputed play matters.
