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

The pattern is G _ _ T _ _ _, so the first and fourth letters are fixed while the other five positions stay open. Only 7 of these words rank among the top 25,000 English words by wordfreq frequency. That leaves many less familiar options alongside everyday picks such as GETTING, GLITTER, and GUTTERS.

At a glance: the G _ _ T _ _ _ pattern

• A total of 94 tournament-dictionary words match this seven-letter pattern.
• Collins lists 91 matches, NWL2023 lists 82, and ENABLE lists 71.
• Just 7 matches are common by the top-25,000 wordfreq measure.
• The average tile score across the matches is 9.4 points.
• GETTING, GLITTER, and GUTTERS are among the recognizable examples.

Which familiar words fit the pattern?

GETTING, GLITTER, and GRATING are straightforward examples: each begins with G and places T in the fourth slot. GESTURE and GUITARS also fit, though their remaining letters create very different endings. Check the fixed positions first; a word with T in the third slot, such as GUTTERS, does not match.

The final letter varies widely. Among these 94 matches, S is the most frequent ending, followed by G, R, and D. That makes the ending a useful second filter when your puzzle already shows the last tile.

Which matches score well, and what should you watch for?

GLITZED and GYTTJAS lead the listed Scrabble scores at 18 points each. GLITZES scores 17, while GLITCHY reaches 16. Those are strong rack scores before any board bonuses; GLITZED is the more recognizable play, while GYTTJAS is a much less familiar option.

For 7-letter words with G as the 1st letter and T as the 4th letter, familiarity is the main catch: only 7 are common, so many matches will be obscure in ordinary conversation. Dictionary coverage also differs across Collins, NWL2023, and ENABLE; check your game's word list before relying on a less familiar entry.
