Only 12 tournament-listed words match these fixed positions, making this a compact pattern rather than a broad word family. The five examples EFFECT, EFFORT, AFFECT, OFFSET, and AFLOAT give you familiar candidates to test first. Every match ends in T, while the first letter is A, O, or E.

At a glance: the F-to-T pattern

  • Exactly 12 tournament-dictionary entries have F second and T sixth.
  • All 12 end in T; the sixth-position clue is fixed across the set.
  • A starts 5 matches, O starts 4, and E starts 3.
  • Five entries fall in our common-word group; 7 fall outside it.
  • EFFECT, AFFECT, OFFCUT, and OFFPUT lead at 14 Scrabble points each.

Which words are easiest to recognize?

Start by checking EFFECT, EFFORT, AFFECT, OFFSET, and AFLOAT. These examples show how much the first letter can change while the second and last stay locked. Five of the 12 entries meet our common-word cutoff, leaving 7 outside that group.

The first-letter split is unusually tight: A leads 5 words, O leads 4, and E leads 3. If your clue does not reveal the first position, keep all three options open. EFFECT, EFFORT, and AFFECT also repeat F, so the fixed F should not make you rule out another F.

6-letter words with F as the 2nd letter and T as the 6th letter

The F group is especially narrow: A-second, T-last words number 206, and E-second, T-last words number 204, compared with just 12 here. That sharp difference makes this pattern a useful filter when a broader six-letter search gives too many candidates.

Collins lists all 12 matches, while ENABLE and NWL2023 list 8 each. Each of those dictionaries has 4 fewer entries than Collins, but they need not omit the same words. Check your game's word list before playing an unfamiliar entry.

Questions people ask

Which words in this pattern score the most?
EFFECT, AFFECT, OFFCUT, and OFFPUT are the highest scorers, at 14 points each. Their repeated F tiles add value, while the other letters keep their base totals level. Board premiums can change a play's final score, so 14 is the word value before any square bonuses.
Are all 12 words accepted in every word game?
No. Collins includes 12 matches, while ENABLE and NWL2023 include 8 each. Those totals show different coverage, but do not identify which exact words differ between lists. Check the dictionary your game uses before challenging or submitting an unfamiliar entry.
What are some familiar words with F second and T last?
EFFECT, EFFORT, AFFECT, OFFSET, and AFLOAT are five recognizable examples from this pattern. They make good first checks when you know only the fixed letters. The full set has 12 entries, so keep searching if none fits your remaining clues.
