This pattern fixes two positions but leaves five letters open, so it catches familiar words and less obvious plays alike. PICTURE and PROTECT are easy to recognize; PECTIZE and PEPTIZE lead the scoring list at 20 points each. Of the 293 matches, 37 are common English words, so expect plenty of specialist entries too.

A quick read on the P–T pattern

  • There are 293 matches with P first and T fourth.
  • The final letter is S most often: 96 words end that way.
  • Another 52 matches end in E, a much smaller group.
  • PECTIZE and PEPTIZE top the score list at 20 points apiece.

How many 7-letter words with P first and T fourth?

There are 293 tournament-dictionary matches. The count includes 286 Collins words, 229 NWL2023 words, and 209 ENABLE words; those sets overlap, so their counts do not add up to the total.

The pattern is relatively broad among P-starting words: the S-first, T-fourth sibling has 313 matches, while the C-first version has 247. Switching the fourth letter also changes the pool sharply: P words with S in that slot number 218.

The ending split shows how lopsided the pattern is. After S at 96 and E at 52, N and R each close 20 words, G closes 19, and D closes 18. A known last tile therefore removes most of the 293 candidates.

Which matches are easiest to recognize?

Start with PICTURE, PROTECT, PARTNER, and PATTERN when you need recognizable candidates. POSTING, PROTEST, and PRETEND offer other familiar options while keeping the same P–T skeleton.

For a score-focused play, PECTIZE and PEPTIZE each reach 20 points; POSTFIX scores 19. Those leaders are far less everyday than PICTURE, so check your game's word list before building a play around an unfamiliar entry.

Questions people ask

How many seven-letter words start with P and have T fourth?
There are 293 matches in the tournament-dictionary count. The set includes familiar words such as PICTURE and PROTECT, but only 37 matches fall among the most common English words, so many entries are less familiar.
What are the highest-scoring P-first, T-fourth words?
PECTIZE and PEPTIZE score 20 points each. POSTFIX and PLOTZED follow at 19 points. These are score leaders, not necessarily words your game accepts, so verify unusual entries against its dictionary.
Which letter ends the most seven-letter P–T words?
S is the most frequent final letter, appearing on 96 matches. E is next with 52. If your pattern has an unknown last tile, testing S before E is a practical narrowing move, though it will not identify every valid word.
