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

This fixed pattern produces a compact, lopsided group: every match ends in A, and 15 begin with S. STELLA, STIGMA, UTOPIA, and STRATA are recognizable anchors; less familiar entries such as YTTRIA and STADDA show how quickly a letter pattern can lead beyond everyday vocabulary. Only 4 entries meet the common-word frequency cutoff, so expect a mix rather than a list of familiar choices.

At a glance: the T–A pattern

• All 23 matches end in A, so the final letter is fixed across the set.
• 15 start with S; A starts 4, while O, P, U, and Y each start one.
• Only 4 entries meet the common-word frequency cutoff.
• STANZA tops the scoring list at 15 points, ahead of ATAXIA at 13.

How many words fit this six-letter pattern?

There are 23 tournament-dictionary words with T in position two and A in position six. The opening letters tell a useful story: 15 start ST, including STELLA, STIGMA, STRATA, STANZA, and STEVIA. That strong S cluster makes the pattern easier to scan than its modest total suggests.

A starts 4 entries, including ATAXIA and ATONIA; O, P, U, and Y each start one. Fifteen entries have definitions, but several spellings are specialist vocabulary. UTOPIA and STELLA are easier to recognize than YTTRIA or STADDA, so don't assume every valid match will feel familiar.

The neighboring pattern with A in the second position and A at the end has 191 matches, far more than this T-and-A combination. That contrast is a reminder to lock in both known positions before searching by the first letter; otherwise, a much broader list can distract from the actual clue.

STANZA is the scoring leader at 15 points, with ATAXIA next at 13. STEMMA scores 10, while STIGMA, STEVIA, OTTAVA, and YTTRIA each score 9. When a board position rewards letter value, check these candidates before settling on a familiar lower-scoring word.

The dictionary totals overlap, so don't add them to estimate a larger list: Collins has 22 matches, NWL2023 has 15, and ENABLE has 13. Some words appear in one tournament list but not another. Check your game's word list before playing a less familiar entry such as OTTAVA or YTTRIA.
