The pattern is _ _ T S _ _. OUTSET is easy to recognize, while KITSCH and JETSAM sit among the highest scorers. Only one match is common by the word-frequency measure, so many of the remaining entries will be unfamiliar. Dictionary coverage varies, too, and the full set is not accepted in every word game.

At a glance: the fixed TS pattern

  • The pattern _ _ T S _ _ matches 33 six-letter words.
  • OUTSET, FUTSAL, KITSCH, and JETSAM are recognizable examples.
  • KITSCH, JETSAM, and JETSOM each score 15 points.
  • O is the most common starting letter, appearing in eight matches.

Which words make the pattern easier to spot?

OUTSET and FUTSAL are good anchors when you scan for the middle TS. Less familiar matches include MOTSER, GUTSER, and JETSOM, so a known opening or ending can be valuable when the center letters are fixed.

The first letter O leads with eight matches; P and T each start four. Four words end in S, and four end in T. Use those endings to narrow a candidate when your puzzle has also revealed its last letter.

6-letter words with T as the 3rd letter and S as the 4th letter

For 6-letter words with T as the 3rd letter and S as the 4th letter, KITSCH, JETSAM, and JETSOM share the top score of 15 points. PUTSCH and JETSON follow at 13. The average is 8.7 points, well below the leaders, so don't expect every match to score like a premium-letter play.

Dictionary acceptance is uneven: Collins has 31 matches, NWL2023 has 21, and ENABLE has 16. Those counts overlap; they are not separate groups to add together. Check your game's word list before playing an obscure option such as JETSOM or MOTSER.
