That fixed pattern leaves five open slots, so the first and final letters still create very different-looking answers. WAITING, CAPTAIN, PARTNER and PATTERN show how ordinary the results can be; 71 entries fall among the most common English words. Tournament coverage differs by dictionary, so a familiar-looking match is not automatically accepted in every game.

At a glance: the A-T pattern

550 matches qualify across ENABLE, Collins and NWL2023, with 388 in ENABLE, 535 in Collins and 424 in NWL2023.
WAITING, CAPTAIN, PARTNER and PATTERN are recognizable examples that satisfy both fixed positions.
Final S is the standout ending: 181 matches end in S, far ahead of G at 61 and E at 56.
The first letter C leads with 71 matches; M follows with 58, then P with 52.

Which familiar words fit this letter pattern?

WAITING begins with W and ends with G, while CAPTAIN starts with C and ends with N. PARTNER and PATTERN share the same opening letters but finish differently, a quick reminder that the fixed A and T do not determine the rest of the word.

The opening-letter counts make C the strongest starting point, but the final letter is more lopsided: S appears at the end of 181 matches. G and E are the next most frequent endings, with 61 and 56 words. When solving a clue, test a likely final S before narrowing the less common middle slots.

7-letter words with A as 2nd and T as 4th

For 7-letter words with A as the 2nd letter and T as the 4th letter, the five remaining positions still allow a broad mix of forms. WAITING and WANTING end in -ing, while PARTIES and MATTERS use a final S; that ending is common, but it is not a shortcut to accepting every candidate.

Dictionary coverage is uneven: Collins includes 535 matches, compared with 424 in NWL2023 and 388 in ENABLE. Some answers therefore work in one tournament list but not another. Check your game's word list before playing an unfamiliar match, especially when you move between word-game apps.

Questions people ask

How many 7-letter words have A second and T fourth?

There are 550 qualifying words in the tournament-dictionary counts. Examples include WAITING, CAPTAIN, PARTNER and PATTERN. The fixed letters occupy positions two and four, leaving the first, third, fifth, sixth and seventh letters open.

What is the most common final letter for these words?

S is the most common final letter, appearing in 181 matches. G is next with 61, followed by E with 56. Words such as PARTIES and MATTERS show why an S ending is a productive clue, though it does not identify one answer by itself.

Are all 550 words accepted in every word game?

No, dictionary coverage varies by game. Collins has 535 matches, NWL2023 has 424 and ENABLE has 388. A word accepted under one list may be rejected under another, so check the rules for your game before using an unfamiliar answer.
