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

The pattern _N___T has a clear starting-letter split: U and I account for most of the matches, while just one word starts with K. Familiar options include INVEST, INSERT, INFANT, and UNREST. All entries end in T, so use the first letter to narrow a clue once N and the final T are fixed.

Which starting letters should you test first?

Test U and I first: together, those starting letters cover 71 of the 88 matches. UNREST and UNJUST are recognizable U options; INVEST, INSIST, and INSERT lead the I group.

E comes next with 9 matches, among them ENLIST and ENFANT. A begins 5 words, O begins 2, and K begins just 1. That lone K match is KNIGHT.

The opening letter strips the list down faster than any other position. If neither U nor I fits, E's 9 words are the next branch to test before you work through the small A, O, and K groups.

Which matching words score the most?

INKJET is the top scorer at 17 points, followed by INJECT at 15 and KNIGHT at 14. The less familiar UNFIXT and UNVEXT each score 16, so a high total does not guarantee an everyday word.

Treat this as a pattern-solving list, not an everyday vocabulary bank: only 16 of the 88 matches are common words. Dictionary coverage also differs, so verify a less familiar entry against your game's word list.
