7-letter words with K as the 3rd letter and T as the 6th letter

The fixed pattern is _ _ K _ _ T _, so the third and sixth positions are settled while four letters remain open. All 20 matches are uncommon: none falls within the top 25,000 English words by frequency. The list still has familiar-looking plurals such as ANKLETS and INKPOTS alongside less familiar entries such as MIKVOTH.

7-letter words with K as the 3rd letter and T as the 6th letter

• There are 20 tournament-dictionary matches for the pattern _ _ K _ _ T _.
• ANKLETS, INKJETS, and DIKTATS are three examples from the set.
• 15 of the 20 matches end in S; the other endings are H, E, I, and Y.
• MIKVOTH leads the scores at 19 points, followed by INKJETS and SUKKOTH at 18 each.
• 18 matches have a dictionary definition, and none is among the top 25,000 English words by frequency.

Which words fit, and which score highest?

MIKVOTH is the top scorer at 19 points, while INKJETS and SUKKOTH each score 18. Among the more recognizable entries, INKPOTS scores 13 and DIKTATS scores 12. Those are base word scores; a premium square can change the total during play.

The large S-ending group is a useful clue when you have a rack that can make a plural: ANKLETS, INKJETS, and REKNOTS all match. But the pattern is not simply a collection of plurals. MIKVOTH ends in H, while DAKOITY ends in Y, so check every position rather than forcing an S.

How should you use this pattern in a word game?

Treat these matches as a narrow candidate list, not everyday vocabulary: the common-word count is zero even though 18 entries have definitions. The dictionary coverage also varies. Collins includes 19 matches, compared with 15 in NWL2023 and 13 in ENABLE, so a word accepted in one game may not work in another.

For a board play, compare the unusual high scorers with the letters and squares actually available. MIKVOTH is the strongest option, but INKJETS is only one point behind it and may fit a different opening. Check your game's word list before committing to an unfamiliar entry.
