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

The fixed pattern is M _ _ _ _ T _: only the first and sixth letters are set, so the middle letters do most of the sorting. Just 11 of the 90 entries count as common. Try recognizable options such as moments, markets, mandate, and migrate first; less familiar words bring unusual letters but need a careful dictionary check.

How many 7-letter words have M first and T sixth?

There are 90 tournament-dictionary entries for this pattern. That is fewer than the 464 words with M first and E sixth, and fewer than the 233 with M first and N sixth.

Dictionary totals overlap: 71 entries appear in ENABLE, 86 in Collins, and 75 in NWL2023, so those counts are not separate piles to add together. A total of 79 entries have definitions. For a familiar starting point, moments and markets are easier to recognize than many of the rarer forms.

Which matching words score highest?

MATZOTH is the top scorer at 21 points, with MAJESTY and MIKVOTH tied at 19. Those unusual letter combinations can pay off on a board, but memorizing the top score alone is not a sound play: check the cross-letters before you commit.

For 7-letter words with M as the 1st letter and T as the 6th letter, everyday vocabulary is the exception, not the rule. Since only 11 are classed as common, learn recognizable options such as mandate and migrate before spending time on obscure entries. The list is a pattern aid, not a promise that every word fits your game's dictionary.
