7-letter words with L as the 2nd letter and T as the 6th letter

Only 6 of the 49 entries fall among the most common English words, so this pattern mixes recognizable words with tournament-list vocabulary. CLIMATE, FLIGHTS, and PLANETS are easy anchors, while PLANXTY stands out for scoring rather than everyday use. The fixed L and T positions make the list narrow, but its openings and endings still split sharply; just 45 have definitions attached, another reason to separate a playable fit from a familiar one.

7-letter words with L as the 2nd letter and T as the 6th letter

• Exactly 49 dictionary-listed words match the two fixed positions.
• CLIMATE and PLANETS are familiar examples; both fit the pattern.
• PLANXTY leads the scoring table at 19 points, ahead of FLIGHTY at 17.
• 26 entries end in S, compared with 14 ending in E.
• P leads the first letters with 11 matches.

Which words are easiest to recognize?

CLIMATE, CLIENTS, FLIGHTS, and PLANETS are the easiest anchors to recognize; CLARITY and CLOSETS add two more familiar shapes. The first letter is most often P, with 11 matches, followed by E with 8, F with 7, and C with 6.

Compare PLACATE and PLICATE when the middle is fixed: both keep L second and T sixth, but their vowel patterns differ. FLIGHTS and FLAUNTS show the value of checking known letters rather than guessing a generic seven-letter word.

How do scores and endings narrow the choices?

PLANXTY is the top Scrabble scorer at 19 points; FLIGHTY follows at 17, while BLIGHTY and KLEPHTS each score 16. FLIGHTS scores 14. That makes PLANXTY the scoring outlier, but its rarity makes it a less natural fit when the clue is about everyday vocabulary.

Endings narrow the field fast: 26 words finish in S, more than half of all 49, while 14 finish in E. The other endings are Y (5), H (2), A (1), and I (1). With a final S, test familiar candidates such as CLIENTS, FLIGHTS, and PLANETS first.

Dictionary coverage differs: Collins includes 48 matches, NWL2023 has 38, and ENABLE has 35. Those figures overlap, so they are not three separate piles. Only 6 entries count as common, and 45 have definitions; check your game's word list before committing to obscure forms.
