7-letter words with B as the 1st letter and T as the 4th letter

7-letter words with B as the 1st letter and T as the 4th letter

Brother, battery, beating, bottles, and battles all put T in the fourth position. Start with these recognizable matches when your clue fixes both letters but leaves the other five slots unknown.

The final letter gives a useful second filter. S appears at the end of 68 words; G and R follow with 23 and 20 matches. For an S ending, try bottles, battles, or buttons before exploring less familiar options.

Which matches score well, and what should you check?

Britzka tops the scoring results at 22 points. Baptize scores 20, while blitzed and bostryx each reach 19. Those options beat familiar words on tile value, but their unusual spellings make dictionary confirmation important before a play.

The available pool depends on the game’s word list: Collins has 198 matches, compared with 156 in NWL2023 and 141 in ENABLE. An entry accepted in one dictionary may be missing from another. Of the 204 matches, 174 have definitions available.

Changing the word length also changes the size of this exact letter pattern: the six-letter version has 113 matches, while the five-letter version has 76. Keep both fixed positions when comparing lengths; changing the fourth letter creates a different clue rather than a shorter version.
