A fixed final T narrows the pattern, but the fifth-letter H leaves room for several recognizable choices. WEIGHT, BOUGHT, CAUGHT, and FLIGHT are among the more familiar matches. The collection also includes less common spellings such as QUIGHT and KLEPHT, so a word that looks familiar is not automatically accepted in every game.

At a glance: counts, starters, and a top scorer

  • All 39 matches end in T, with H fixed in the fifth slot.
  • Collins includes all 39; ENABLE and NWL2023 each include 25.
  • Fifteen matches belong to the common-word group, including WEIGHT, BOUGHT, and FLIGHT.
  • B and W tie for the most frequent first letter, with five words each.
  • QUIGHT scores 19 points, ahead of WHISHT and KLEPHT at 15 apiece.

Which familiar words fit this pattern?

WEIGHT, HEIGHT, and FLIGHT show how naturally this pattern appears in everyday vocabulary. BOUGHT, CAUGHT, TAUGHT, and FOUGHT form another recognizable group, while BRIGHT, SLIGHT, and KNIGHT offer familiar alternatives.

Many of those words share the -IGHT ending, but the first letters still matter when you are solving a clue. B and W each begin five matches, while F and S each begin four. That makes those four starting letters the strongest places to check first.

The list also contains words that look related but are much less common in ordinary play. WRIGHT, NAUGHT, and NOUGHT sit alongside familiar entries, while SPIGHT and TWIGHT are harder to recognize. Fifteen matches fall in the common-word group, so most entries are less familiar.

For scoring, QUIGHT leads at 19 points. WHISHT and KLEPHT each score 15, while KNIGHT reaches 14; familiar words such as WEIGHT and FLIGHT score 13. The highest scorer is a rare-looking choice, not the obvious everyday pick.

Note

For tournament play, check your game's dictionary: all 39 matches appear in Collins, but only 25 appear in each of ENABLE and NWL2023. A familiar -IGHT spelling does not guarantee acceptance across word lists.

Questions people ask

Why do Collins and NWL2023 have different counts for these words?
Collins includes all 39 matches, while NWL2023 includes 25. ENABLE also includes 25. The counts differ because the dictionaries do not accept identical sets of words, so check the word list used by your game before relying on an unusual match such as QUIGHT or KLEPHT.
