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

The pattern is tight: only 23 tournament-dictionary words start with J and put T in slot four. Familiar forms include JESTER, JILTED, and JOLTED, but the set has no common entries by our frequency measure. Dictionary coverage shifts too: Collins accepts all 23, while ENABLE and NWL2023 each include 19.

The J-first, T-fourth pattern at a glance

• All 23 matches begin J and place T in slot four; JESTER and JOLTED show the fixed frame.
• Collins lists 23, while ENABLE and NWL2023 list 19 apiece, so dictionary choice changes the usable set.
• JHATKA scores 20, ahead of JUSTLY at 16; JILTED, JOLTED, and JETTED each score 14.
• Seven words end in D, six in R, and four in E; D is the most frequent final letter.
• The average score is 13.7, but zero common entries makes this a poor set for everyday guessing.

Which 6-letter words have J first and T fourth?

Read the pattern as J _ _ T _ _. JESTER, JITTER, and JOSTLE all fit, but their middle letters differ. Keeping the fourth slot fixed helps separate these candidates from other J words when a puzzle gives you a known T.

Several entries look familiar because they are ordinary forms: JILTED, JOLTED, JETTED, and JOTTED. JUNTAS and JUNTOS also fit, though the list has no common entries under its frequency measure, so recognition alone will not cover every match.

For scoring, JHATKA leads at 20 points, with JUSTLY next at 16. JILTED, JOLTED, JETTED, and JOTTED each score 14. The top-scoring option is much less familiar than JESTER, which scores 13; a strong tile score does not make a word a likely everyday guess.

Endings give another way to narrow candidates: seven matches finish with D, six with R, and four with E. Collins contains all 23; ENABLE and NWL2023 each contain 19, so check your game's word list before relying on an uncommon form.
