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

Only 22 tournament-dictionary entries fit this exact opening-and-ending pattern, and just one is classed as common by frequency. KNIGHT is the standout familiar example, but most remaining matches are uncommon spellings or specialist terms. Final T is a strong filter, not a promise of everyday vocabulary.

The K-to-T pattern at a glance

• Exactly 22 accepted entries begin with K and finish with T.
• Only one match meets our common-word frequency threshold.
• KONFYT leads Scrabble tile scores at 16 points; KLEPHT follows at 15.
• Collins lists 19 matches, NWL2023 lists 11, and ENABLE lists 8; the dictionary sets overlap.

Which K-to-T words score highest?

KONFYT leads the Scrabble scores at 16 points, followed by KLEPHT at 15 and KNIGHT at 14. KIPPOT, KEIGHT, and KEPPIT also score 14. The familiar KNIGHT is not the top scorer, so check the less familiar options when the rack fits.

Those are tile totals, not guaranteed board totals: premium squares and rack shape affect the play. KONFYT is the standout on letter value, but its unfamiliar spelling makes dictionary acceptance worth checking before you commit.

Are 6-letter words starting with K and ending in T common?

Only one of these 22 entries is classed as common; the other 21 fall below our frequency cutoff. Definitions are available for 15 matches, so coverage is incomplete even before dictionary rules enter the picture.

The pattern is unusually narrow beside nearby combinations: 6-letter words beginning with S and ending in T number 114, while K-starting words ending in S number 180. If the last letter is uncertain, testing S opens a much larger set than staying with T.

Collins, NWL2023, and ENABLE do not accept identical sets of words. Their counts overlap, so do not add them to estimate unique matches. Check your game's word list before risking a less familiar form such as KONFYT or KLEPHT.
