6-letter words with T as the 4th letter and E as the 6th letter

A T in the fourth position and final E create a roomy _ _ _ T _ E frame with 705 matches. This group has a broad everyday core: 129 entries meet the common-word measure, including UNITED, CENTER, LISTEN, and SISTER. S is the leading opening letter, but many other starts remain productive.

Key facts about this letter pattern

• 705 words match the fourth-position T and final E.
• S starts 71; P follows with 58 and B with 50.
• D closes 262 matches, with R close behind at 237.
• 129 entries count as common vocabulary.
• QUYTED leads the scoring examples at 19.

Which starting letters should you test first?

S begins 71 matches, followed by P at 58, B at 50, and T at 47. Familiar choices such as STATES, POSTED, BETTER, and LISTEN and MASTER fit the frame. The wide opening spread gives several strong branches rather than one dominant prefix.

What can the final letter tell you besides E?

The ending E is fixed, so the fourth tile T does most of the pattern work; the position immediately before E is often D or R. D ends 262 words and R ends 237, with S at 108. That concentration makes forms like UNITED and CENTER worth checking early, while 129 common entries mean this pattern is less obscure than its full count suggests.

The leading starting letters cover several familiar shapes: STATES begins with S, POSTED with P, BETTER with B, and UNITED with U. D and R are the most frequent letters immediately before the final E, at 262 and 237 matches. Use that fifth-position clue after trying the strong S and P opening groups, rather than scanning all 705 options at once.

The 129 common entries support quicker solving, but the full 705-word pool still contains many less familiar forms.
