How many 7-letter words with M third and T fifth?

For a clue-driven solve, lock in those two fixed letters before testing the open slots. LIMITED and TEMPTED share the same final three letters, while REMATCH and HAMSTER show how different the surrounding consonants can be. Checking the first and last letters next can cut the candidates quickly.

What 7-letter words with M third and T fifth leave out

The 105 matches are a combined tournament-dictionary count, not a promise that every game accepts every entry. Collins includes 98, NWL2023 includes 76, and ENABLE includes 67; check your game's word list before playing an unfamiliar term.

For a Scrabble score target, ZYMOTIC leads at 23 points, well ahead of familiar TEMPTED or LIMITED. Word Puzzle Answers has definitions for 82 matches, leaving 23 without one here; the less familiar entries are still part of the dictionary count. The pattern is strong for solving a fixed-position clue, but it is not a list of everyday vocabulary.
