How many 6-letter words have U fifth and T sixth?
There are 62 matches. That is far fewer than the 306 words with E in the fifth position and T last, or the 230 with S fifth and T last. The fixed UT ending trims the choices sharply, so checking the two final tiles first is a quick way to screen a rack or a clue.
The opening letters are spread out rather than dominated by one starter: P leads with seven words, while R and S each start six. OUTPUT, PEANUT, and WALNUT show how varied the first four letters can be, even when the final pair stays fixed.
Which U-fifth, T-last words score well?
QIVIUT leads at 18 points, followed by MAZOUT at 17; both outrank familiar choices such as PAYOUT and BUYOUT, each worth 11. Those scores make the unusual words worth recognizing, but a high tile total does not make an obscure entry easy to place.
The 62 six-letter words with U as the 5th letter and T as the 6th letter include 50 entries with definitions, yet just eight are common by frequency. For play, confirm an unfamiliar word in your game's list: the total combines entries from ENABLE, Collins, and NWL2023, whose coverage differs.
