The fixed pattern is K _ _ _ _ T _, but the final letter varies sharply: 17 words end in S, while only one ends in T. KNIGHTS and KEYNOTE are easier to recognize than many entries, which include specialist terms such as KYANITE and KUNZITE. Only two of the 26 are classified as common, so expect an unusual vocabulary mix rather than a list of everyday words.

At a glance: the K-and-T pattern

  • The pattern has 26 matches, with K first and T in the sixth position.
  • KNIGHTS is a recognizable S-ending option; KEYNOTE is one of the six words ending in E.
  • KIBBUTZ and KIBBITZ share the top score at 24 points each.
  • Collins includes 25 matches, compared with 16 in NWL2023 and 15 in ENABLE.

How do these seven-letter words end?

S dominates the last position: 17 of the 26 words end in that letter. E is a distant second with six, followed by two Z-ending words and one T-ending word. That makes the final tile a strong clue once you have confirmed the first K and sixth-position T.

KNIGHTS is the most familiar S-ending example, while KIDLETS and KEYSETS show less obvious routes to the same ending. KEYNOTE illustrates the E group; KIBBUTZ and KIBBITZ account for the Z group. The pattern is much narrower than other seven-letter words with T sixth: the S-first sibling has 165 matches.

Which K-and-T words score highest?

Tip

For a seven-tile play, KIBBUTZ and KIBBITZ combine the top score with a full rack. Confirm your game's dictionary first: only 15 matches appear in ENABLE, versus 25 in Collins.

Questions people ask

How many seven-letter words have K first and T sixth?
There are 26 tournament-dictionary matches with K in the first position and T in the sixth. The list includes familiar words such as KNIGHTS and KEYNOTE, alongside specialist entries like KUNZITE. Dictionary coverage differs, so a match in Collins is not automatically accepted in every game.
What is the highest-scoring word in this pattern?
KIBBUTZ and KIBBITZ tie for the highest score at 24 points each. KUNZITE follows at 20, then KONFYTS at 17. Those are scores before board bonuses, and the rarer spellings should be checked against the word list used in your game.
Do any words matching this pattern end in T?
Yes, one matching word ends in T. S is far more common at the end, with 17 matches, while E appears on six and Z on two. If the final letter is still unknown, an S is the strongest pattern-based guess.
