7-letter words with M as the 1st letter and T as the 4th letter

Seven-letter M…T patterns cover 191 tournament-list entries, but familiarity is uneven: only 24 rank among common English words. Meeting, mention, matters and mistake are recognizable anchors; MUNTJAK stands out more for tile value than everyday vocabulary. With the first and fourth positions fixed, the other five letters narrow the search through crossings and endings.

The pattern at a glance

• 191 words match the fixed M-first, T-fourth pattern.

• MUNTJAK leads the scores at 20 points.
• S is the most frequent final letter, appearing in 65 matches.
• Only 24 matches fall among common English words.

How does this pattern compare with nearby choices?

The 191 matches sit close to the count for seven-letter words starting with T and putting T fourth, which has 192. Keep M but change the fourth letter to I, and the matching group rises to 167. Those neighboring counts show that a single crossing can shift the size of your search without changing the word length.

S is the leading ending, with 65 matches; E follows with 22. When the final square is open, test S endings first, then E. Familiar examples do not all point to one ending: meeting finishes in G, while mistake ends in E.

Which M-and-T words score well?

MUNTJAK scores 20 points, while MIXTAPE, MESTIZO and MYSTIFY each score 18. The average score across this group is 10.9, so treat the leader as a standout rather than a typical result. Familiar choices such as meeting and mention offer a different kind of advantage: they are easier to recognize when you are working from crossings.

For 7-letter words with M first and T fourth, the strongest shortlist depends on your board: seek the high-value letters in MUNTJAK when points matter, or use familiar candidates to test the pattern. The 191 matches include 188 in Collins, 142 in NWL2023 and 132 in ENABLE; those counts overlap, and acceptance can vary by game. Check your game's word list before playing.
