6-letter words with B as the 4th letter and T as the 6th letter

The pattern is _ _ _ B _ T: B is fixed in the fourth slot, and T closes every answer. Just five of the 36 matches count as common by English-word frequency, so familiar picks sit alongside specialist vocabulary. The dictionary counts also differ, which matters if you are playing under a specific word list.

How many 6-letter words have B fourth and T sixth?

• There are 36 matching words, all ending in T.
• Only five qualify as common; COMBAT, RABBIT and HOBBIT are recognizable choices.
• Collins includes 34 matches, while NWL2023 includes 27.
• ENABLE includes 24, so dictionary coverage is not identical across games.

Which examples are easiest to recognize?

COMBAT, RABBIT, HOBBIT, GAMBIT and SORBET show how varied the first three letters can be around the fixed B and T. The opening letters are not evenly spread: T begins six matches, while R and S each begin five. That makes the starting letter a useful next filter when your clue gives one.

For Scrabble, HOBBIT, WOMBAT and WABBIT top the score ranking at 13 points each. COMBAT scores 12, while GAMBIT scores 11. These are tile scores before board bonuses, so a premium square can change the play; the rack score alone does not decide the best move.

How to narrow the B-fourth, T-sixth list

Lock in the pattern _ _ _ B _ T, then use any revealed letters in the first three positions to separate familiar candidates. A clue for an animal points toward WOMBAT; a clue about fighting points toward COMBAT. RABBIT and HOBBIT also make strong checks when the opening letters fit.

The main limitation is familiarity: 29 entries have definitions, but only five meet the common-word cutoff. Before playing a less familiar answer, check your game's word list; Collins, NWL2023 and ENABLE do not accept the same number of matches. For a different final letter, the B-fourth, S-final pattern has 105 matches.
