6-letter words with R as the 5th letter and T as the 6th letter

Every match fits the same six-letter frame: four letters, R, then T. The set ranges from familiar forms such as REPORT, EFFORT, and DESERT to less familiar entries; 20 qualify as common by the frequency measure. That mix makes the fixed ending a tighter clue than a broad browse of six-letter words.

At a glance: the R-T ending

• All 63 entries end in RT, so the fifth-position R narrows the pattern before you check the first four letters.
• REPORT, EFFORT, EXPERT, DESERT, and RESORT are familiar examples.
• Twenty entries count as common; many of the remaining matches are less familiar.
• Collins lists 61 matches, NWL2023 lists 42, and ENABLE lists 39; those dictionary counts overlap.
• EXHORT scores 16 Scrabble points, while EXPERT, EXPORT, and SQUIRT each score 15.

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

Exactly 63 six-letter words fit the R-fifth, T-sixth pattern. E begins the most, with 10 words; A follows with 9, while D and I each begin 6. Familiar examples span several openings: REPORT and RESORT start with R, while EXPERT and EFFORT start with E.

Changing only the final letter makes a much larger pool: 586 words have R fifth and S sixth, compared with 63 ending in T. The E-fifth, T-sixth pattern has 306 matches, nearly five times this set. Those comparisons make the final T a particularly selective constraint.

For Scrabble, EXHORT leads at 16 points. EXPERT, EXPORT, SQUIRT, OXCART, and JUMART each score 15; EFFORT and THWART score 12. The average score is 9.3, so fitting a word to your rack can matter more than chasing the single highest total.

The 63-match total counts entries found in at least one of Collins, NWL2023, or ENABLE, not words shared by every dictionary. Their totals overlap, and 20 matches are common by frequency, so expect plenty of less familiar choices. Check your game's word list before relying on an entry that appears in only some dictionaries.
