6-letter words with K as the 3rd letter and T as the 6th letter

This pattern is unusually tight: every match finishes with T, and only 23 words qualify. U supplies the most opening letters, with five matches, while A and D each begin three. The list mixes familiar ANKLET and INKJET with rarer forms such as DIKAST and OIKIST, so confirm an entry in your game's dictionary before committing.

At a glance: the K–T pattern

• All 23 matches have T in position six; no other final letter appears.
• Collins and NWL2023 each accept 20 entries, while ENABLE accepts 15.
• U is the leading first letter with five matches; A and D have three apiece.
• INKJET and JAKEST top the score list at 17 points each.
• No match meets our common-word frequency cutoff.

6-letter words with K as the 3rd letter and T as the 6th letter

The pattern contains 23 entries, and T is fixed at the end; the third slot is K throughout. That leaves the first, second, fourth, and fifth letters to distinguish candidates.

Start with the opening letter if you have one. Five entries begin U, including UNKEPT, UNKNOT, and UNKNIT; three begin A, including ANKLET and ASKANT, and three begin D, including DIKTAT.

Do not treat the 23 as equally familiar. The common-word count is zero, despite recognizable ANKLET and INKJET. Several remaining entries, including MIKVOT, OIKIST, and DAKOIT, are specialized; a pattern match does not guarantee that your game accepts the word.

Which entries score most in word games?

INKJET and JAKEST lead at 17 points apiece, ahead of MIKVOT at 15 and SUKKOT at 14. FAK EST scores 13, as does WOKEST. These are tile scores before board bonuses, so the same word can play differently on a premium square.

On a rack with K, weigh the score against certainty: INKJET and ANKLET are more recognizable than JAKEST or MIKVOT, but the dictionary split matters. Collins and NWL2023 accept 20 entries each, while ENABLE accepts 15; agreement across lists is not universal.

That makes this pattern a poor place to gamble on an unfamiliar word in a tight game. Check the opponent's governing list first, then spend K where a letter or word multiplier boosts its value. For another option with K fixed in third, compare the 108 words ending in S; the T-ending set here is much smaller.
