6-letter words with T as the 2nd letter and A as the 4th letter

The fixed pattern is _T_A__, so every match keeps T in slot two and A in slot four. Collins lists all 50 entries, while ENABLE and NWL2023 each include 31. Only 12 rank among the common words here, making familiar examples such as ATTACK, STEADY, STRAIN, and ATTACH the quickest starting points for solving.

6-letter words with T as 2nd and A as 4th

• Exactly 50 tournament-dictionary words fit the _T_A__ pattern.
• Collins includes all 50; ENABLE and NWL2023 each include 31.
• 35 matches begin with S, while 11 begin with A; E and O each start two.
• S is the most frequent ending, appearing on 19 matches; E ends seven.
• 12 entries are common, and 37 have definitions.

Which matches are easiest to recognize?

ATTACK, ATTACH, and ATTAIN share the opening AT-, giving you a quick way to test a clue that might begin with A. ATTACK also appears among the highest-scoring matches, alongside STRAFF and STRAWY.

The larger group starts with S: STEADY, STEALS, STEAKS, STRAIN, and STRAND all fit. Those examples show how much the opening changes while T and A stay fixed in the same positions.

Check the final letter next. S closes 19 matches, far more often than E, the next most common ending. If your crossing letters point to a final S, try STRA- and STEA- openings before scanning less familiar choices.

How should you narrow the pattern?

Lock T and A into place first, then use the other crossings to distinguish the 35 S-openers from the 11 A-openers. That split is the most useful shortcut in this group; the remaining four entries start with E or O.

The list is broader in Collins than in the two North American dictionaries: 19 entries appear in Collins but not in ENABLE or NWL2023. Most matches are not common vocabulary, so check your game's word list before playing an unfamiliar answer. ATTACK and STEADY are safer familiar anchors than rare forms such as STRAKE.
