The -UTH run gives the list its character: COUTH, FOUTH, MOUTH, ROUTH, SOUTH, TRUTH and YOUTH all close that way, and four of the seven are Wordle answers. S endings are far more common, with 25 words in -UTS and 12 in -UTE. KLUTZ scores 18, the only entry above 11.

What the U-third, T-fourth list holds

  • 53 five-letter words match U third and T fourth.
  • 25 end in -UTS, 12 in -UTE and 7 in -UTH.
  • Twelve are Wordle answers, including ACUTE, CHUTE, MOUTH, ROUTE and TRUTH.
  • KLUTZ leads at 18, and YOUTH and FOUTH follow on 11.
  • Thirteen words are common, and nine appear in Collins alone.
  • The floor is 5, and the average sits at 7.6.

The -UTH tail is the recognisable shape

Seven words close in -UTH: COUTH, FOUTH, MOUTH, ROUTH, SOUTH, TRUTH and YOUTH. Four of them, MOUTH, SOUTH, TRUTH and YOUTH, are Wordle answers, which makes the tail unusually helpful for solvers.

S endings dominate the rest of the list. -UTS covers 25 words such as ABUTS, BOUTS, SHUTS and GLUTS, while -UTE covers 12 including ACUTE, BRUTE, CHUTE and ROUTE. Ten words carry no definition and nine are Collins-only, so spellings like AGUTI, KNUTS, SOUTS and VAUTE rarely show up outside tournament play.

Scoring on U-third, T-fourth words

Tip

Chase the -UTH tail in Wordle and the Z in Scrabble. Four of the seven -UTH words are answers, and KLUTZ is the only spelling here worth 18 points.
