Four fixed-letter clues narrow the field to 319 words, but everyday vocabulary makes up only a small slice. Just 31 matches rank among common English words by frequency. The list ranges from familiar forms like photos and tastes to high-scoring, less familiar entries such as zlotys, so the pattern suits a precise rack or board search more than a common-word-only hunt.

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

  • The pattern has 319 tournament-dictionary matches, and every one ends in S.
  • Only 31 are common by frequency; familiar examples include states, months, photos, and quotes.
  • S leads the starting-letter count with 45 matches, ahead of C at 34.
  • ZLOTYS and AZOTHS top the scoring list at 18 points each; the average score is 9.

How do dictionary and starting-letter counts compare?

The dictionary totals overlap: 315 matches appear in Collins, 227 in NWL2023, and 204 in ENABLE. Those are separate counts, not groups to add together; the full set contains 319 words found in at least one tournament dictionary. Check your game's word list before playing an unfamiliar entry.

S leads the opening-letter field with 45 words, while C follows at 34. The next most frequent starts are B and F, tied at 24 each. For perspective, the matching pattern with E in the fourth position has 907 words, far more than this T-and-S combination.

Which matches stand out for scoring and play?

ZLOTYS, AZOTHS, and QUYTES each score 18 points in the scoring table. SIXTHS, KHETHS, XYSTOS, and XYSTUS score 16. Among more recognizable options, QUOTES and QUOTAS each score 15, showing that a familiar word can still carry a strong tile total.

For 6-letter words with T as the 4th letter and S as the 6th letter, don't assume the final S always marks a simple plural. Status, hiatus, and cactus also fit the pattern. The 31 common matches are only a small portion of the total, so prioritize known words when the game uses a narrower dictionary.

Questions people ask

How many of these words are in NWL2023?
NWL2023 includes 227 of the matching words. The full set has 319 entries across at least one tournament dictionary, so dictionary coverage differs by game. A word appearing in Collins is not automatically playable in an NWL2023 game.
Which matching words score 18 points?
ZLOTYS, AZOTHS, and QUYTES each score 18 points. They top the scoring examples for this letter pattern, while SIXTHS and several less familiar words score 16. Check the game's dictionary when considering an unusual high-value play.
Are all 319 matches common English words?
No. Only 31 matches fall within the common-word frequency group. States, months, photos, and quotes are familiar examples, while many other entries are less common. That makes the pattern broader than an everyday-vocabulary list.
