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

Lock E at the start and T in the middle, then check the remaining letters against this set of 83 words. Familiar options include EDITION, EASTERN, EMOTION, and EDITING, but most entries are not common: just 11 fall among the top 25,000 English words by frequency. The fixed pattern narrows the search; the endings still offer several useful clues.

What stands out in this letter pattern?

• There are 83 tournament-dictionary words with E first and T fourth.
• EDITION, EASTERN, and EMOTION are recognizable matches.
• EPITAXY leads the scoring list at 19 points.
• The most frequent endings are E (18 words), S (12), and N (10).

Which 7-letter words fit E first and T fourth?

EDITION gives a clear pattern: E-D-I-T-I-O-N, with T exactly in the fourth slot. EASTERN and EMOTION fit the same frame, while EXOTICS shows how different the remaining letters can be. Try those familiar words first when you are checking a board or narrowing a letter puzzle.

The ending can break a tie. E is the most frequent final letter, appearing on 18 entries; S follows with 12, and N with 10. Only 5 end in T, despite T already being fixed in position four.

The examples are not all everyday vocabulary. The set has 66 words with definitions, while only 11 meet the common-word cutoff. Treat familiar matches as starting points, not as a promise that every remaining entry will be easy to recognize.

How do scores and word lists differ?

EPITAXY is the top scorer at 19 points, ahead of EGOTIZE at 17 and EXOTICS at 16. Those high values come from less familiar words; EDITION and EASTERN are easier to spot but do not lead the scoring list. The average score across the set is 10.4.

Dictionary coverage changes the usable count: Collins includes 82 entries, NWL2023 includes 64, and ENABLE includes 58. Those totals overlap, so they should not be added together. The complete set draws from at least one of these tournament lists; check your game's word list before playing a less familiar match.
