6-letter words with L as the 2nd letter and T as the 6th letter

The fixed pattern is _L___T: L sits in slot two, T closes the word, and every answer has six letters. The 41 matches range from familiar words such as ALMOST and PLANET to rarer entries such as KLEPHT and FLEMIT. Fourteen meet the common-word cutoff, so start with recognizable candidates before checking unusual spellings.

At a glance: the _L___T pattern

• Forty-one tournament-dictionary words fit the pattern _L___T.
• Fourteen are common by frequency; ALMOST, FLIGHT, and PLANET are familiar examples.
• F leads as the first letter, with seven matches; E and P follow with six each.
• Thirty-two entries have definitions, and KLEPHT tops the score list at 15.

How many matches have L second and T sixth?

Seven of the 41 begin with F, making F the leading first letter. E and P each contribute six, while A supplies five; B, C, and S each have four. If your pattern is _L___T, test F, E, or P before spending guesses on a less common opener.

Recognizable matches include ALMOST, FLIGHT, PLANET, CLIENT, OLDEST, and CLOSET. The list also contains ELUENT, OLIVET, and FLEMIT; a plausible-looking sequence is not necessarily familiar or accepted in every game. Thirty-two entries have definitions, leaving nine without one here.

Which matching words score the most?

KLEPHT leads the scores at 15, followed by FLIGHT at 13. PLIGHT, BLIGHT, and FLYEST each score 12. KLEPHT is the counterintuitive pick: the highest scorer is far less familiar than ALMOST or CLIENT, so a strong score does not make a word easy to remember.

Dictionary coverage differs: Collins includes 40 matches, NWL2023 includes 32, and ENABLE includes 31. That spread matters when a game rejects an otherwise valid-looking guess. Check your game's word list once, especially before relying on uncommon entries such as KLEPHT, FLEMIT, or OLIVET.
