6-letter words with A as the 1st letter and T as the 6th letter

Both ends are fixed: A opens each word, and T closes it. That leaves four middle letters to narrow down, with recognizable options like affect, arrest, and assist alongside less familiar entries. The 94 matches draw from several tournament dictionaries, so the exact set your game accepts depends on its word list.

At a glance: 6-letter words with A first and T last

• The A-to-T pattern contains 94 six-letter matches.
• Almost, amount, august, and artist are familiar examples.
• A total of 24 matches are classed as common.
• The list includes 76 words with definitions.
• ABJECT and ACQUIT lead the scoring examples at 17 points each.

Which A-to-T words are easiest to recognize?

Start with everyday words that fit the pattern: almost, amount, august, accept, affect, and absent. These examples show how varied the four middle letters can be, even though every answer begins with A and ends with T. Artist and aspect are other recognizable choices when you are checking a clue.

The common-word count is 24 out of 94, so many matches are less familiar than almost or amount. That makes the examples useful as a first pass, not a guarantee that every entry will come to mind during a timed game. Albeit, amidst, and advert add less obvious letter combinations.

How do scores and dictionary coverage compare?

For 6-letter words with A first and T last, ABJECT and ACQUIT are the top scoring examples, each worth 17 points. ADMIXT and ATWIXT follow at 16, while ASQUAT scores 15. ACCEPT scores 12, a more familiar play that trades some points for a common word.

Dictionary coverage is not identical: Collins includes 92 matches, NWL2023 includes 74, and ENABLE includes 69. Those totals overlap, and the combined set has 94 words. Some high scorers, including ADMIXT and ATWIXT, are less everyday choices, so check your game's word list before relying on them.
