Just 15 seven-letter words put G in the third slot and T in the fourth. Four of them begin with R: RAGTIME, RAGTAGS, RAGTAIL and RAGTOPS. None sits in the common-word band, so most are compounds such as PIGTAIL and DOGTROT.

Quick facts about the GT frame

  • 15 words match: G third, T fourth, seven letters long.
  • JOGTROT scores 15, the top mark, and four words tie at 12.
  • L and S each end four words; E ends three.
  • R opens four words, D opens three, H and P two each.
  • NWL2023 accepts 14 of the 15, Collins accepts 11 and ENABLE accepts 8.

Which endings and openings turn up?

Endings split three ways. Four words finish in L (PIGTAIL, WAGTAIL, RAGTAIL, DOGTAIL) and four in S (RAGTAGS, HOGTIES, PEGTOPS, RAGTOPS), while RAGTIME, BIGTIME and FIGTREE end in E.

Openers are just as clustered. R starts four words and D starts three: DOGTOWN, DOGTAIL and DOGTROT. Eight different first letters appear in the set, from B and F to J and W, so a rack holding R, D, H or P reaches eleven of the 15.

Where do these words fall short?

ENABLE lists only 8 of the 15, while Collins lists 11 and NWL2023 lists 14. Check your game's dictionary before you build a play around one of them, because the same rack can be legal in one app and rejected in another.

None of the 15 counts as a common word, so opponents rarely see them coming. That works in your favour on a tight board and against you in a casual game where players challenge anything unfamiliar, so pick your moment.

How does JOGTROT reach 15 points?

Tip

JOGTROT scores 15 because the J carries 8 of those points. A double-letter square under the J lifts the word to 23, which beats every other match in this frame.
