7-letter words with I as the 3rd letter and T as the 4th letter

The 197 matches come from tournament dictionaries, with T fixed immediately after I. Familiar entries such as WRITTEN and WRITING sit beside oddities like TZITZIT, and only 24 of the 197 count as common. S opens 40 of them, so it is the first letter to try.

How many 7-letter words have I third and T fourth?

• 197 tournament-dictionary entries match the seven-letter pattern.
• Collins includes 192 matches, NWL2023 has 151, and ENABLE has 139.
• Only 24 entries meet our common-word frequency cutoff.
• WRITTEN, WRITING, WAITING, and EDITION are familiar examples.
• TZITZIT and TZITZIS top the score list at 25 points each.

Which first and last letters appear most?

Initials are uneven: S leads with 40 entries, W has 24, and E and T each have 17. WRITTEN, WAITING, and WRITERS make the common S and W starting shapes easy to scan once I and T are locked.

Final S occurs 44 times, ahead of R at 31 and E at 24. That favors plural and verb forms, but EDITION ends in N and GLITTER in R; treat the tail counts as a search order, not a rule.

WRITING and EDITING show why checking the final two slots can separate related forms: the middle pair stays fixed while the word ending changes.

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

Scrabble scoring departs from the familiar examples: TZITZIT and TZITZIS each score 25, the highest value here. Their value comes from high-value letters, not length alone; board fit and your game's lexicon still matter. The mean score is 11.3, so most matches do not reach that ceiling.

Dictionary coverage is not interchangeable: Collins has 192 matches, NWL2023 has 151, and ENABLE has 139. The lists overlap, so do not add these counts; confirm your game's lexicon before playing a less familiar entry. Only 24 matches count as common, a practical limitation for everyday clue-solving.

BRITZKA at 22 and ZAITECH at 21 trail the TZITZIT pair but lead everything else. Start by testing S as the first letter, then inspect final S or R before trying less frequent endings.
