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

Pinning O in slot three and T at the end leaves 40 tournament-dictionary entries. The six common entries are a small slice of the pattern, while the first-letter split is led by A and P. AMOUNT and PROFIT are familiar anchors; rarer forms such as PROJET and PIOLET show how a fixed pattern can still produce an uneven vocabulary.

At a glance: the O-and-T pattern

• All 40 matches end in T, fixing the last tile before you compare any other position.
• A starts eight entries, the most common opening; P follows with seven.
• Only six entries are classed as common, so many matches sit outside everyday vocabulary.
• AMOUNT, PROFIT, CLOSET, PROMPT, VIOLET and SPOILT are examples in the set.
• PROJET and QUOIST tie at 15 Scrabble points apiece.

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

Exactly 40 six-letter words match O in position three and T in position six. Collins includes 37, NWL2023 includes 23, and ENABLE includes 20; the counts overlap because a word can appear in more than one dictionary. The pattern's average score is 9.2 points.

Compare that narrow set with the same pattern using R in the third slot: that page has 146 matches. Changing the required final T to S while keeping O third produces 536. The counts make the constraint plain: the final letter changes the size more sharply than a nearby third-letter swap.

Which words lead the score list?

PROJET and QUOIST tie for the top Scrabble score at 15 points. PROMPT, WHOSIT, FROWST and POOKIT each score 12, while PROFIT and AVOCET score 11. Those names are less familiar than AMOUNT or CLOSET, but a high tile total does not make a word a safe play: confirm your game's dictionary before committing.

For 6-letter words with O as the 3rd letter and T as the 6th letter, the opening letters offer another way to narrow the set. Eight entries start with A, and seven start with P. AMOUNT and ANOINT cover the A branch; PROMPT, PROFIT and PROJET cover the P branch.
