This pattern fixes both ends: C opens every match and T closes every one of the 170 entries. Familiar choices include current, content, contact, and comment. Forty words count as common-frequency, making this a broader everyday set than many letter-pair searches.

The C-T letter frame at a glance

  • Collins has 164 matches; ENABLE includes 122 and NWL2023 includes 135.
  • All 170 candidates finish with T, leaving five middle positions to resolve.
  • CUMQUAT and COMMIXT tie for the 20-point score lead.
  • CROQUET and CZARIST follow at 18 points each.
  • Forty common-frequency words sit among 129 defined entries.

How much work remains after both ends?

Because the endpoints are already settled, compare the internal structure instead of repeatedly testing the final tile. Current and content place familiar letter patterns inside the frame, while CUMQUAT and CROQUET carry less common sequences.

The distribution of starters cannot add another clue because C begins all 170 words by construction. The useful variation is among middle letters and score profiles: the two 20-point leaders each exploit high-value tiles, whereas common options such as contact score less.

How should you use 7-letter words with C first and T last?

Tip

Fix the endpoints once, then spend your guesses on the five interior slots. Rechecking a confirmed T wastes a valuable clue.

Questions people ask

Which two entries tie at the top score?
CUMQUAT and COMMIXT each score 20 points. CROQUET and CZARIST follow at 18, though their letter shapes are quite different. Both can fit high-value racks, but neither outranks every possible board placement. Their tied score makes the available square decisive.
What common examples fit this endpoint pattern?
Current, content, contact, comment, correct, concept, context, concert, contest, and conduct all start C and finish T. These examples confirm the endpoints without narrowing the interior letters. Use crossing tiles to distinguish current from contest or contact.
How many matches meet the common-frequency measure?
Forty words meet the common-frequency threshold. The larger full set includes 129 defined entries, so commonness and dictionary coverage are separate measures. The count is based on word frequency, while definitions use dictionary data. The two measures answer different questions about a candidate.
