6-letter words with G as the 1st letter and T as the 3rd letter

This pattern fixes the opening as G-T with one letter between them, leaving three positions to narrow down. The set mixes familiar choices such as GOTTEN and GATHER with less common entries such as GUTZER and GYTTJA. Only 7 matches rank among the commonest English words, so a plausible-looking answer may still need a dictionary check.

At a glance: the G-T pattern

• There are 28 six-letter matches with G first and T third.
• Collins contains 27 matches; NWL2023 contains 20, and ENABLE contains 14.
• GOTTEN, GATHER, GOTHIC, GUTTED, and GOTCHA are among the recognizable examples.

Which G-T words score the most?

GYTTJA leads the scoring list at 17 points, with GUTZER close behind at 16. Both beat more familiar options such as GOTHIC and GOTCHA, which score 12 each. Those unusual high scorers stand out because the pattern’s average is only 8.6 points.

For a more recognizable play, GATHER scores 10, as do GUTFUL and GATVOL. GUTTED and GATING score 8 apiece. The high-value names are worth remembering, but check your game’s word list before playing an unfamiliar one.

6-letter words with G as the 1st letter and T as the 3rd letter

The final letter helps separate candidates: R and S lead with five words apiece, while A and D each finish three. The remaining endings are E, L, N, and T, with two matches each. If your crossing letters rule out R and S, those smaller groups offer a focused next check.

Only 20 of the 28 matches have definitions, and just 7 are common by frequency. GOTTEN and GATHER are safer everyday guesses than obscure entries such as GUTZER. This pattern is a word-list clue, not a promise that every match will be familiar or accepted in every game.
