Three fixed letters leave the first three positions and final letter open, giving this pattern plenty of recognizable words. BETTER, LETTER, and MATTER are everyday examples; QUOTED and VORTEX show how different the same letter frame can look. The collection spans multiple tournament dictionaries, so its total is broader than any one game's word list.

At a glance: the T-E pattern

  • The pattern has 705 matches across at least one tournament dictionary.
  • Collins includes 699 matches, compared with 556 in NWL2023 and 528 in ENABLE.
  • There are 129 common words, including BETTER, STATES, MATTER, and LETTER.
  • Words ending in D lead with 262 matches; words ending in R follow with 237.
  • The average score is 8.6 points, while QUYTED reaches 19.

Which familiar words fit this pattern?

BETTER, MATTER, LETTER, SISTER, and WINTER all place T in the fourth slot and E in the fifth. Their different beginnings make the pattern easier to scan: focus on the final three letters, then test the first half against your clue.

The 129 common entries are a small slice of the 705 total. That gap matters in word games: a broad tournament list includes plenty of less familiar choices, while the common examples are a sensible first pass when solving from memory.

What endings and scores stand out?

D and R are the clear leaders at the final position: together they account for 499 of the 705 matches, or about 71%. That makes endings such as -TED and -TER worth checking early, with STATED, TESTED, BETTER, and WINTER as concrete examples.

For Scrabble, QUYTED scores 19 points, ahead of QUYTES at 18; QUOTED and VORTEX score 16 each. The top score is striking, but QUYTED is far less familiar than BETTER. Check your game's word list before relying on an unusual entry, since the three dictionaries do not contain identical sets.

A nearby pattern changes the fifth letter while keeping T fixed in fourth place: the T-and-I combination has 191 matches, while T-and-O has 159. Use those alternatives only when your clue allows a different fifth letter.

Questions people ask

How many six-letter words have T fourth and E fifth?
There are 705 six-letter words with T in the fourth position and E in the fifth. That total counts words found in at least one tournament dictionary, including Collins, NWL2023, or ENABLE; it does not mean every game accepts all 705.
What are some common words with T fourth and E fifth?
BETTER, LETTER, MATTER, SISTER, and WINTER are familiar examples. The pattern has 129 common words in all, although the full tournament-dictionary total is 705, so many matches are less common.
Which word with T fourth and E fifth scores highest?
QUYTED is the highest-scoring example at 19 points. QUYTES follows at 18, while QUOTED and VORTEX each score 16. Check the word list for your game before playing an unfamiliar high scorer.
