How many 6-letter words have R second and T sixth?

There are 76 matches, and every candidate ends in T: the pattern is _R___T. Start with recognizable fits such as CREDIT, ARTIST, PROFIT, BRIGHT, ARREST, BREAST, PRIEST and PROMPT. Each keeps both fixed letters while changing the rest of the rack.

The opening letter narrows the search: A accounts for 12 matches, P for 11, and B for 10. F and T each contribute 8, while C and D each contribute 6. When you know only the two fixed positions, A-, P- and B-starting candidates are sensible first branches.

Which matches score highest in Scrabble?

PROJET leads at 15 points, followed by FRICHT at 14. WRIGHT, FRIGHT, URTEXT, BRICHT and TRIJET each score 13. BRIGHT and PROMPT score 12, so the obvious everyday choices do not top the raw-value ranking.

A rare high-value entry is playable only if your game accepts it and the board gives you a route. CREDIT, ARTIST and PROFIT are easier to recognize, but your rack and premium squares still decide the turn. Check your game's word list before relying on an unfamiliar entry: Collins has 74 matches, compared with 57 in NWL2023 and 55 in ENABLE.
