6-letter words with T as the 2nd letter and U as the 5th letter

Only 11 words fit this pattern, and seven begin with S. STATUS and STATUE are the easiest to recognize; STROUP and ITERUM are less familiar. Four matches count as common, so the set mixes everyday vocabulary with specialist forms found only in some dictionaries.

What stands out in this pattern

• Only 11 six-letter entries have T in position two and U in position five.
• Seven start with S; STATUS, STATUE, STYLUS, and STROUD show that cluster.
• Four of the 11 matches count as common by our frequency measure.
• S is the most frequent final letter: four words end in S, and two end in M.
• OTAKUS tops the scoring list at 10 points; STYLUS follows at 9.

Which six-letter words fit T second and U fifth?

Eleven six-letter words match the fixed positions. The familiar group includes STATUS, STATUE, ATRIUM, UTERUS, and STYLUS; STROUD, STROUP, STROUT, OTAKUS, STATUA, and ITERUM complete the set. Seven words start with S, while A, I, O, and U each start one.

That S-heavy opening is the sharpest pattern clue: if the first letter is unknown, test S before the less common openings. The final letters also narrow guesses: S appears four times, M twice, and A, D, E, P, and T once each. STATUS and STATUE share their first four letters, then diverge.

For a board game, OTAKUS leads with 10 points, followed by STYLUS at 9; ATRIUM and STROUP each score 8. This pattern is a position-solving clue, not a high-score hunting ground. The average score is 7.3, so the top result stands apart from the typical match.

The pattern appears in ENABLE, Collins, and NWL2023, but their coverage differs: 7 matches appear in ENABLE, 10 in Collins, and 8 in NWL2023. Check your game's dictionary before playing a less familiar entry. For a locked-in clue, compare STATUS and STATUE first; for points, OTAKUS beats the more familiar choices.
