The fixed pattern is _ _ N T _ _ _, so the third and fourth positions are settled while the other five letters remain open. Familiar entries make this pattern easier to scan than its raw count suggests: century, content, mention, and context all fit. Only 38 entries are classed as common, though, so expect many less familiar choices when you need a specific rack or clue.

At a glance: the N-T pattern

  • 320 entries fit the seven-letter pattern _ _ N T _ _ _.
  • Control, central, and contact are clear everyday examples of the fixed letter pair.
  • C is the most common first letter, with 59 matches; P follows with 45.
  • 106 words end in S, compared with 39 ending in E.
  • The average score is 9.9 points; MUNTJAK leads the scoring examples at 20.

Which familiar words fit the N-T pattern?

Control, central, century, content, contact, mention, and context show how this frame appears in familiar vocabulary. Contest and contain are easy to recognize too, while fantasy and monthly reveal how different the outer letters can be around the same NT pair.

The starting-letter spread has a clear leader: 59 words begin with C, compared with 45 starting with P and 37 with M. For a known first letter, try central, contact, or context under C; wanting and winters show N-T words beginning with W.

Endings offer another useful filter. More than a third of the entries finish in S, with 106 examples, while 39 finish in E and 33 in G. Centers, hunters, and winters illustrate the S ending; venture and vintage finish in E.

7-letter words with N as the 3rd letter and T as the 4th letter

The strongest listed scorer is MUNTJAK at 20 points, followed by XANTHIC and XANTHAM at 19 each. MUNTJAC scores 18, while familiar CONTEXT reaches 16. If your rack has a high-value tile, compare the unusual options before settling on a common word.

The average score is 9.9, so the top-scoring examples sit well above the middle of the group. In a board game, the board squares and available hooks still affect the play; a high listed score alone does not make an unfamiliar word the right move.

These 320 7-letter words with N as the 3rd letter and T as the 4th letter are counted when they appear in at least one tournament dictionary, not necessarily every one. Coverage differs across ENABLE, Collins, and NWL2023, so check your game's word list before playing a borderline entry.
