Every match ends in T, and the re- family is the obvious entry point: report, result, recent, repeat, regret, resort, resist and reject all start that way. Select, detect and deject show the -ct tail, while result and resist use -st. 43 of the 204 are common words.

The E-to-T pattern at a glance

  • Each entry ends in T, the sixth letter that every match shares.
  • R opens 60 matches, nearly a third, mostly re- words; D opens 33 and B 24.
  • The fifth letter points to the tail: E on 36, S on 34, N on 29 and C on 17.
  • 43 entries are common words.
  • Hexact tops the list at 18, then bezant, bemixt and pezant on 17.

Which E-to-T words should you try first?

Start with the re- set, because 60 matches open that way: report, result, recent, repeat, regret, resort, resist and reject.

The -ct group is smaller but distinctive: select, detect, deject and defect put C in the fifth slot before the final T.

Weight, height, secret, defeat and helmet widen the field, showing that almost any vowel-consonant mix can sit before the last letter.

Which E-to-T words score best?

Hexact is the standout at 18 points, built on the X. Bezant, bemixt and pezant each reach 17, and deject scores 16.

The average is 9.3, so the everyday re- group stays cheap while X, Z and J do the heavy lifting.

Collins takes 200 of the 204 matches, NWL2023 155 and ENABLE 145, so the rarer -ct and -xt spellings are the first to go under a tighter ruleset.
