This fixed-letter pattern produces a compact set, with no entries in the common-word group. KUMQUAT and KAJEPUT lead the score list, while KINDEST and KEENEST look more familiar. Dictionary coverage varies across the set, so check your game's word list before playing a less familiar entry.

The pattern at a glance

  • There are 13 tournament-dictionary matches, and every one starts with K and ends with T.
  • Collins includes all 13; ENABLE and NWL2023 each include eight.
  • KUMQUAT scores 22 points, ahead of KAJEPUT at 20.
  • KINDEST, KEENEST, and KINGLET are among the more familiar-looking options.

Which words fit K first and T seventh?

The matches include KINDEST, KNESSET, KENNETT, KEENEST, KUMQUAT, KASHRUT, KINGLET, KILOBIT, and KEEPNET. The remaining entries are KAJEPUT, KELLAUT, KETUBOT, and KEWLEST. The set mixes recognizable words with specialist vocabulary and less familiar spellings.

Eight entries appear in ENABLE, and eight appear in NWL2023; those equal counts do not establish that the dictionaries accept the same words. Collins covers all 13. That split makes dictionary checks important when you reach beyond familiar choices such as KINDEST.

Check your game's word list before playing an unfamiliar entry.

7-letter words with K first and T seventh

KUMQUAT leads at 22 points, with KAJEPUT next at 20. KASHRUT and KEWLEST each score 14, while KILOBIT, KEEPNET, and KETUBOT each score 13. Those are base word scores; letter and word multipliers can change the total on a board.

The pattern is notably narrow beside C-first, T-last words, which number 170. When fixed letters leave few options, verify dictionary eligibility before planning around the top score. For another K-ending pattern, compare K-first words ending in S or R, or browse the seven-letter hub.

Questions people ask

What is the highest-scoring 7-letter word starting with K and ending with T?
KUMQUAT is the highest scorer at 22 points, followed by KAJEPUT at 20. Those are base word scores, so the final value depends on the board. Check your game's word list as well, since dictionary coverage differs among the matching words.
Are all 13 K-first, T-last words accepted in NWL2023?
No. NWL2023 includes eight of the 13 matches, while Collins includes all 13. ENABLE also includes eight, but equal dictionary counts do not mean the same entries are accepted. Confirm the word list used in your game before playing an unfamiliar word.
Are any K-first, T-last matches common words?
No entries in this pattern fall within the common-word group. KINDEST and KEENEST may look familiar, but the matches also include less familiar or specialist words such as KASHRUT, KETUBOT, and KAJEPUT.
