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

N takes the first position and T the fourth in each of these 64 seven-letter words. The list mixes recognizable words such as NESTING and NURTURE with less familiar entries; just six are among the most common English words. That gap matters when you need a playable word rather than a word you already know.

The pattern at a glance

• 64 tournament-dictionary entries start with N and place T fourth.
• Collins includes 64 matches, compared with 55 in NWL2023 and 51 in ENABLE.
• Only 6 matches rank among the most common English words.
• NARTHEX leads the scoring list at 17 points.
• 19 words end in S; R is next, with 11.

Which words make this pattern easiest to recognize?

NEITHER, NEUTRAL, NEUTRON, NESTING, and NURTURE are familiar ways to picture the pattern: N begins each word, and T falls in the fourth slot. NETTING and NOSTRIL offer two more everyday-looking candidates.

The contrast is sharp: only 6 of the 64 matches are common by frequency, even though the examples include ordinary words. NARTHEX and NARTJIE sit at the scoring end instead; NARTHEX reaches 17 points, while NARTJIE scores 14.

Which endings and dictionary differences matter?

S is the strongest ending by a clear margin: 19 matches finish with S, while 11 end in R and 9 in Y. The remaining words spread across E, D, L, G, and N, so checking the final tile can narrow a search quickly.

Dictionary coverage is a real constraint: Collins has 64 matches, but NWL2023 has 55 and ENABLE has 51. Check your game's word list before relying on a less familiar candidate.
