7-letter words with L as the 1st letter and T as the 6th letter

The pattern is L _ _ _ _ T _, so the sixth position is fixed while the last letter can still vary. Only 3 of these words rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency. Familiar examples include LIBERTY and LOYALTY; the strongest scorer is the less everyday LOQUATS.

At a glance

• There are 57 tournament-dictionary matches for L in the first slot and T in the sixth.
• Only 3 entries meet the common-word frequency threshold.
• The final letter is S for 30 words and E for 18.
• LOQUATS and LIQUATE lead the scoring list at 16 points each.
• LIBERTY, LOYALTY, and LAYOUTS are recognizable examples, but only 3 matches meet the common-word frequency threshold.

Which endings dominate?

S and E account for 48 of the 57 matches, about five-sixths of the set. The remaining endings are A for 4 words, Y for 3, and H for 2. That makes the final slot a strong narrowing clue once L and the sixth-position T are confirmed.

The S-ending group includes LAYOUTS, LOCUSTS, and LIMPETS; LIBERTY and LOYALTY show the Y ending. Don’t assume a familiar-looking word is common: only 3 matches clear the frequency threshold, and several entries are specialist vocabulary.

LOQUATS and LIQUATE score 16 points apiece, ahead of LUCHOTH at 15. LAXISTS scores 14, while LOCKETS and LOYALTY each score 13. The average score is 9.6, so the two 16-point words stand out rather than representing the typical entry.

Dictionary coverage varies: Collins includes 55 matches, compared with 41 in NWL2023 and 38 in ENABLE. The list is therefore broader than any one game’s word set; check your game’s dictionary before playing an unfamiliar entry. For a quick board-ready choice, LOCKETS is a more recognizable option than LOQUATS.
