Which familiar words fit the frame?
HISTORY, HITTING, HUNTING and HEATING all place T in slot four. HOSTING and HOSTILE do too, while HOSPICE and HOSTAGE add different endings. These recognizable examples make the pattern easier to recall than its raw total suggests.
HOATZIN and HERTZES are the score leaders at 19, ahead of HEFTILY and HATTOCK at 16. This contrast is useful in a rack search: familiar words are good anchors, while the highest point values may come from vocabulary you would not reach for first.
Nineteen common entries make this group easier to approach through ordinary vocabulary than many tight letter patterns. Start with the examples you already know, then use the exact position to reject near-misses. HEATHER has T in fourth place, while HOTTEST also keeps that tile fixed.
This count includes both noun-like options such as HOSTAGE and action forms such as HITTING. The exact T slot stays constant while the other letters change, so a known opening or ending is usually the fastest next constraint. S and G together are the best ending starting point.
A practical way to narrow the pattern
For a likely ending, try S or G before rarer choices; together they account for 47 of the 85 matches.
