7-letter words with F as the 1st letter and T as the 6th letter

The sixth-position T leaves only the final letter open, so endings become a practical first filter. S appears most often at the end, but Y and E also account for sizable groups. FACULTY, FLIGHTS, and FORMATS are familiar examples; FORZATO and FORZATI top the raw score list.

F first and T sixth at a glance

• 71 matches fit the F-first, T-sixth frame.
• S ends 33 words; E ends 17 and Y ends 13.
• FORZATO and FORZATI each score 19 points.
• FLIGHTY scores 17.
• The average score is 12.4 points.

Which last letters narrow the choices fastest?

S is the leading ending, with 33 words, followed by E at 17 and Y at 13. That means checking the final tile quickly separates many candidates. FLIGHTS and FORESTS illustrate the S group; FLIGHTY is a Y-ending alternative with a high score.

The ending distribution is broad enough that a fixed T does not imply a single suffix. FACULTY ends in Y, FRIGATE in E, and FORMATS in S. Five matches meet the common-frequency threshold, so recognizable examples are a useful starting point, but they cover only a small portion of the tournament list.

Why are two unusual forms tied on top?

FORZATO and FORZATI each score 19, ahead of FLIGHTY at 17 and FANJETS and FOUGHTY at 17. Their tie is a reminder to compare letter values, not just word length or familiarity. The average score is 12.4, well below the leaders.

Collins includes 67 matches, NWL2023 lists 50, and ENABLE lists 47, with overlapping membership. FORZATO and FORZATI are not everyday plays, so verify an unfamiliar entry against the dictionary used in your game. For a more familiar choice, FACULTY or FLIGHTS makes the pattern easier to recognize.

FORGETS also belongs to the leading S-ending group, while FORGETS and FORGET differ only at the last tile.
