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

The pattern is narrower than many K searches: just 54 tournament-dictionary words fit. Familiar examples include KITTENS and KNITTED, but most matches are less common. Only 2 qualify as common by frequency, so expect a mix of everyday plurals, inflections, and specialist vocabulary rather than a ready-made list of ordinary conversation words.

At a glance: the K-and-T pattern

• There are 54 matches across the covered tournament dictionaries.
• Only 2 matches fall within the common-word frequency group.
• 25 words end in S; G is the next most frequent ending, with 7.
• Collins includes 51 matches, compared with 33 in NWL2023 and 30 in ENABLE.

How many 7-letter words have K first and T fourth?

There are 54 seven-letter matches for K in the first position and T in the fourth. That is a small set beside the 313 words with S in the first position and T fourth, so this exact K pattern sharply narrows a search.

The endings show a strong plural and inflectional tilt: 25 entries finish with S, while 7 finish with G and 5 with D. KITTENS, KETTLES, and KAFTANS illustrate the S ending; KARTING shows the G pattern.

KITTENS, KNITTED, and KNOTTED are especially recognizable examples. Their shared T position can help confirm a board pattern, but the surrounding letters differ, so keep every known tile in play.

Which K-and-T words score the most?

KVETCHY leads the scoring examples at 22 points, followed by KLUTZES at 20. KHUTBAH scores 19, and KOWTOWS reaches 17. Those unusual letter combinations carry more scoring weight than familiar options such as KITTENS.

For 7-letter words with K first and T fourth, the best scoring candidates are not necessarily the easiest to remember or place. Check your game's dictionary before committing: the matching vocabulary differs across Collins, NWL2023, and ENABLE, and only 2 entries meet the common group.

A practical board-reading rule: check the fourth tile before building around a K. Once T is fixed there, scan S endings first; they account for nearly half the matches and include recognizable options such as KITTIES and KETTLES.
