With E and T fixed beside each other, the first and final letters do most of the sorting work. The opening R is especially productive, while a large share of matches finish in S. Only 31 entries rank among the most frequent English words, so familiar examples make up a small slice of the full set.

The E-T pattern at a glance

  • 322 tournament-dictionary words match the E-T position pattern.
  • Collins includes 309; NWL2023 includes 269, and ENABLE includes 241.
  • R begins 76 matches, more than twice the 33 starting with M.
  • 138 end in S, the leading final letter by a wide margin.
  • JETPACK and METHOXY each score 22; GETTING and BETWEEN are familiar options.

Which first and last letters dominate?

The leading starting letter is R: 76 words begin with R, compared with 33 for M and 32 for B. That makes the pattern more than a pile of GET- and BET- words; RETIRED, RETURNS, and RETREAT show how many R openings fit.

At the other end, 138 words finish in S. The next most common endings are D and E, with 34 each, so S is far more common than either one. SETTING, DETAILS, and LETTERS show the familiar plural or verb-form feel of that large group.

7-letter words with E as the 2nd letter and T as the 3rd letter

Tip

Use the first-letter spread to narrow a rack clue before scanning endings: R accounts for 76 openings, while S is the dominant final letter with 138. Then test familiar stems such as RET-, SET-, and BET-.
