6-letter words with S as the 3rd letter and T as the 5th letter

The pattern is _ _ S _ T _, leaving the first, second, fourth, and final letters open. Examples include ASSETS, VISITS, UPSETS, RESETS, and ERSATZ. Only three of the 36 match the common-word cutoff, so expect a compact set with many less familiar options.

6-letter words with S as the 3rd letter and T as the 5th letter

• 36 entries match this six-letter pattern, with S in position three and T in position five.
• Only 3 are common by our frequency cutoff.
• 20 finish in S; E is the next most common ending, with 7.
• Collins contains 35 matches, compared with 21 in NWL2023 and 19 in ENABLE.
• ERSATZ and ANSATZ lead the scoring list at 15 points each.

Which endings and starting letters occur most?

Twenty entries end in S, including ASSETS, VISITS, UPSETS, RESETS, and INSETS. That final S makes the pattern look plural-heavy, but unusual forms such as ANSATZ and ERSATZ fit too. Watch the single slot between S and T: ASSETS fills it with E and VISITS with I.

Seven words finish in E, four in A, two each in Y and Z, and just one in T. When the final letter is uncertain, E is the strongest alternative to S. Initial letters are spread across A and R, with 6 entries apiece; B and M follow with 4 each.

Which matches score well, and where are they accepted?

ERSATZ and ANSATZ each score 15 points, while CUSHTY scores 14. VISITS and VISITE score 9 apiece. Those two Z words lead on raw letter score before premium board squares; an unfamiliar word can be a stronger play than a familiar one when your rack holds a Z.

Dictionary coverage narrows the choices: Collins has 35 matches, while NWL2023 has 21 and ENABLE has 19. These sets overlap, so their counts cannot be added or subtracted to identify individual words. With only 3 matches classed as common, check your game's word list before relying on less familiar forms such as CUSHTY, ANSATZ, or ERSATZ.
