6-letter words with F as the 1st letter and T as the 4th letter

F opens the word and T sits fourth, leaving three letters open between them. Collins carries all 98, while NWL2023 lists 67 and ENABLE 63. Just 9 count as common English words, making the familiar examples easier to spot than the full tournament list.

How many 6-letter words have F first and T fourth?

• Exactly 98 six-letter matches put F in slot one and T in slot four.
• Collins lists all 98; NWL2023 drops to 67 and ENABLE to 63.
• Just 9 of the 98 count as common English words.
• FRUTEX scores 16 points, the highest score among these examples.

Which final letters are most common?

S leads the final letters with 24 words, ahead of R at 20 and D at 19. Together those three endings account for 63 of the 98 matches, so a known final tile trims the pattern fast.

Y, E, L, C and H make up the rest, with 11 words closing on Y and 6 on E. Examples across these finishes include FAITHS, FASTER, FITTED, and FILTHY; the final letter often separates otherwise similar guesses.

Which matches are familiar or score well?

FACTOR, FASTER, FOSTER, and FILTER are recognizable options, but the full set is much less everyday: just 9 matches reach the common-word frequency band. FASTEN and FALTER offer additional familiar-looking forms when the last letters are still unknown.

For Scrabble scoring, FRUTEX reaches 16 points; FILTHY, FIFTHS, and FROTHY each score 15. That makes the unusual FRUTEX the scoring leader, while the more recognizable high-value choices carry strong letters too. Scores depend on the board, so a premium square can change the play.

Dictionary coverage also matters: a word appearing in Collins is not automatically accepted in NWL2023 or ENABLE. Confirm a doubtful match against your game's rules before you commit to it, especially among the less common entries.
