The fixed pattern is _Y___T, so every match ends in T and keeps Y in the second slot. The range runs from familiar words such as TYRANT and TYPIST to less common entries such as FYLFOT and MYSOST. Only one of the 14 is common by frequency, and none appear as Wordle answers, so this is chiefly a word-game pattern list rather than a starter-word shortlist.

The pattern at a glance

  • There are 14 tournament-dictionary matches for the _Y___T pattern.
  • Every match ends in T; the final letter does not narrow the group further.
  • BYZANT tops the scores at 20 points, ahead of FYLFOT at 15.
  • Collins includes all 14 matches, while ENABLE and NWL2023 include 11 each.
  • The first letters B, E, and T each begin two matches.

How many 6-letter words with Y as the 2nd letter and T as the 6th letter?

There are 14 matches across the tournament word lists. For comparison, the same pattern with A in the second position has 206 matches, making Y an unusually restrictive choice for that slot.

TYRANT, TYPIST, and EYELET are among the more recognizable options. The remaining entries include CYGNET, DYNAST, LYRIST, and several rare terms, so knowing a word’s spelling does not guarantee it appears in every game’s dictionary.

The dictionary split matters at the edges: Collins has three more matches than either ENABLE or NWL2023. Check your game’s word list before playing an unfamiliar entry.

Which matches score highest, and when should you use them?

BYZANT is the standout score at 20, followed by FYLFOT at 15 and BYPAST at 13. CYGNET and HYLIST each score 12. Those figures make the rare-letter options tempting, but a high face-value score is only useful when your game accepts the word and the board gives you a good placement.

For a familiar play, TYPIST scores 11 and DYNAST scores 10. The practical wrinkle is that most matches are uncommon: just one qualifies as common by frequency. Treat the pattern as a way to check a constrained rack, not as a list of everyday vocabulary.

A quick check for a tight rack

Tip

Lock Y into slot two and T into slot six first, then test the opening letters B, E, and T: each starts two matches. Keep BYZANT in mind for points, but verify the dictionary before committing.

Questions people ask

What are some six-letter words with Y second and T last?
TYRANT, TYPIST, and EYELET are three recognizable six-letter matches with Y second and T last. The full set has 14 entries, including CYGNET, DYNAST, LYRIST, and less familiar words such as FYLFOT.
What is the highest-scoring word in this pattern?
BYZANT is the highest scorer in the listed matches at 20 points. FYLFOT follows at 15, while BYPAST scores 13. A premium board square can change a play’s total, so the score is not necessarily the final score in a game.
Do all word-game dictionaries accept these words?
No, dictionary coverage differs. Collins includes all 14 matches, while ENABLE and NWL2023 each include 11. Unfamiliar options such as HYLIST or FYLFOT are especially worth checking against the word list used in your game.
