5-letter words with U as the 4th letter and T as the 5th letter

This pattern fixes the last two letters as UT, leaving three positions to narrow your search. Familiar options include ABOUT, SHOUT, SCOUT, and DONUT, but only 12 of the 37 matches rank among common English words. The list also includes less familiar entries, so your game’s dictionary can change which guesses count.

The UT pattern at a glance

• There are 37 tournament-dictionary words with U fourth and T fifth.
• ABOUT, DEBUT, INPUT, and TROUT are recognizable examples in the group.
• Nineteen matches appear in the Wordle answer list and tournament dictionaries.
• S is the most common first letter, with 8 matches; C and G have 5 each.
• Only 12 matches fall within the common-word frequency group.

5-letter words with U as the 4th letter and T as the 5th letter

Nineteen of these matches are Wordle answers, and all 19 are also in tournament dictionaries; the full group has 37 allowed guesses. That makes the pattern more than a narrow answer-list filter: the remaining words can still serve as guesses when you need to test letters in the first three slots.

The starting letters give you a practical way to scan candidates. S leads with 8 words, while C and G each contribute 5. Examples such as SHOUT, SCOUT, STOUT, and GROUT show how a familiar consonant cluster can help separate possibilities without changing the fixed UT ending.

The answer set is only part of the story. ABOUT and INPUT are common-looking candidates, while KRAUT and KAPUT are less everyday choices. Keep the pattern fixed, then use revealed letters in the first three places to rule out whole groups.

Which words score highest, and where do counts differ?

MAZUT tops the Scrabble score list at 16 points, ahead of KAPUT at 11 and BAHUT and CHOUT at 10 each. That is a sharp contrast with the familiar low-scoring choices: DEBUT and SHOUT each score 8. Check your rack and board before trading an unusual word for a common one.
