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

The pattern is _ _ _ G _ T: the fourth letter must be G, and every match ends in T. Collins lists all 64 entries, while ENABLE and NWL2023 include 45 each. That gap matters in tournament play, because 19 Collins entries are missing from the other two lists.

Familiar words and dictionary coverage

• There are 64 six-letter matches in Collins; ENABLE and NWL2023 each list 45.
• FORGET, WEIGHT, BOUGHT, CAUGHT and FLIGHT are familiar examples that fit the pattern.
• The 23 common entries are fewer than half of the 64 tournament-dictionary matches.
• FORGET is among nine words beginning with F; B is next, with seven.
• KNIGHT scores 14 points, while WEIGHT scores 13 in the listed Scrabble scoring.

How many 6-letter words have G fourth and T last?

The answer is 64 in Collins, and the opening letter gives you a useful way to narrow the choices. F leads with nine entries, followed by B with seven; M, N, S and W each begin five. Those six initials account for 36 of the 64 matches.

The pattern has a strong familiar core: FORGET, BUDGET, TARGET, TAUGHT, BRIGHT and HEIGHT are all among the examples. Yet 45 entries have definitions recorded, and the common-word count is only 23. Expect the full tournament list to include less familiar vocabulary as well as everyday words.

Use the pattern to narrow a rack, not guess blindly

When a rack already points to _ _ _ G _ T, start by testing common choices such as WEIGHT, FLIGHT, HEIGHT or BRIGHT. KNIGHT is a strong scoring option at 14 points, but it is not the top score in this set; an unfamiliar entry leads the scoring list. Familiarity and score are different filters.

The size of this group is modest beside the 273 words with E in the fourth position and T last. For 6-letter words with G as the 4th letter and T as the 6th letter, the practical limit is the fixed ending: every candidate must finish in T. Collins has 19 more entries than ENABLE or NWL2023, so verify an unusual play in the dictionary your game uses.
