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

Lock in the second and final tiles first: every answer here has L in position two and T at the end. That leaves five letters to sort out, and the opening letter narrows the options quickly. ELEMENT, ALRIGHT, CLOSEST, and BLANKET show how different the remaining sequences can look while still fitting the same clue.

Pattern facts at a glance

• Exactly 75 tournament-dictionary entries fit the fixed L-second, T-last pattern.

• ELEMENT, ALRIGHT, CLOSEST, and BLANKET are recognizable examples among the matches.
• ALIQUOT and FLACKET top the Scrabble scores at 16 points apiece.

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

F is the strongest starting letter in this group, with 15 words. P follows at 12, then C at 11 and B at 10. That gives you a practical solving order: test F before spending guesses on a less common initial.

The familiar choices include ELEMENT, ALRIGHT, and CLOSEST, but the pattern also reaches into more specialized vocabulary. PLUMMET and SLOWEST offer different consonant-and-vowel shapes, while CLIPART and FLORIST make the fixed final T easy to overlook when you focus on the middle.

Which matches score most, and which lists include them?

ALIQUOT and FLACKET each score 16 points in Scrabble before any board bonuses. FLYPAST, PLACKET, CLICKET, and FLYBELT score 15, so the best totals come from less everyday letter combinations rather than the most familiar examples.

Coverage differs by dictionary: Collins includes 72 matches, NWL2023 includes 50, and ENABLE includes 46. A word appearing in one of those sets is not guaranteed in the others, so check your game's word list before playing an unfamiliar form. The 75-entry total counts words found in at least one tournament dictionary.

Compare the ending before changing the middle

A final T is a relatively tight filter for this second-letter clue. Keeping L in the second spot but switching the last letter to S produces 350 matches, far more than this T-ending group. That contrast can guide your next search when the final tile is uncertain.

For this exact pattern, keep the L fixed and use the starting letter as your next divider. The 7-letter words with L as the 2nd letter and T as the 7th letter are led by F, not by the familiar A-starting examples ALRIGHT and ALIQUOT. That is a useful correction when you are generating candidates from memory.
