The pattern is _A___T_: A occupies position two and T sits in position six. Across the tournament-dictionary list, 301 seven-letter matches fit it, from familiar words such as parents, markets, and faculty to less everyday entries. Only 31 rank among the 25,000 most common English words by frequency, so expect a mixed bag rather than an everyday vocabulary list.

At a glance: the _A___T_ pattern

  • The tournament-dictionary set contains 301 seven-letter matches for _A___T_.
  • B leads as the first letter with 35 words; M and C follow with 32 and 31.
  • S is the final letter in 153 matches; E is next at 66.
  • Dictionary totals differ: 203 ENABLE, 291 Collins, and 222 NWL2023 entries.

7-letter words with A as the 2nd letter and T as the 6th letter

Parents, variety, markets, faculty, targets, and mandate show how broad the pattern is: the fixed A and T leave four slots for noun plurals, abstract nouns, and everyday terms. Use _A___T_ to screen a rack or crossword clue, then test each open position against your crossing letters.

Only 31 matches rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency, so the full set includes many less familiar entries. Counts also differ across ENABLE, Collins, and NWL2023; check your game's word list before challenging an unfamiliar play.

Which options score well or end in S?

For 7-letter words with A as the 2nd letter and T as the 6th letter, jackets scores 20 points, majesty scores 19, and gazette scores 17. The list's top score is 21, shared by hazmats and matzoth. Jackets is a more recognizable high-scoring example to keep in mind when you have a J.

S is the leading final letter at 153 matches, ahead of E at 66 and Y at 32. S-ending words make up just over half of the set, so check that final slot early; parents, markets, and targets show the pattern in familiar plurals. Only four matches end in T, making that a much narrower crossing.

Questions people ask

What is the most common last letter in this pattern?
S is the most common final letter, appearing in 153 of the 301 matching words. E comes next with 66, followed by Y with 32. If your last square is open, checking S first narrows the search quickly.
Which A-second, T-sixth words score the most?
Hazmats and matzoth tie for the highest score at 21 points. Jackets scores 20, while majesty and vaquita score 19 each. These are letter scores before any board premiums, so the placement of a high-value tile still matters.
Are many of these seven-letter words common?
No. The set has 301 tournament-dictionary matches, but only 31 fall within the top 25,000 English words by frequency. Parents, markets, and faculty are familiar examples; many other matches are less common, so verify an unfamiliar entry against your game's dictionary.
