6-letter words with U as the 3rd letter and T as the 5th letter

This is the largest pattern in the set, with 85 matches and a very clear ending bias: 58 finish in S. Familiar examples include ADULTS, COURTS, COUNTS, and FRUITS. The starting letters are more balanced than the endings, with S leading at 14 and F close behind at 13.

Quick facts for this letter pattern

• 85 words match U in position three and T in position five.
• S appears last in 58 entries; Y is next at 16.
• S and F lead the first-letter counts with 14 and 13.
• EQUITY is the highest scorer at 18 points.

Which examples stand out in this pattern?

EQUITY tops the scoring table at 18 points. JAUNTY follows at 16; SQUATS, EQUATE, SQUITS, and SHUFTY each score 15. COUNTY, FOURTH, BOUNTY, and TRUSTY are familiar too, while EQUITY and JAUNTY show that a Y ending can belong to a singular word, not only an adjective.

S-ending words dominate, but the 16 Y-ending choices are a substantial second set. E appears five times at the end; A appears three times, and H, I, and O appear once apiece. Twenty matches count as common, leaving many recognizable plays, though the long tail still includes specialized vocabulary.

The 85-word size makes an ending-first search worthwhile. If S is fixed at the end, the data leaves 58 candidates; if Y is showing, there are 16. That still leaves meaningful choice, so use the other known letters before leaning on a familiar example.

This pattern has substantially more familiar vocabulary than the compact rare-letter clusters nearby, but the defined count is not the same as everyday frequency. COUNTY, ADULTS, and FRUITS are approachable; specialist terms remain in the long tail.
