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

The pattern is R _ _ _ _ T _, leaving five positions open while fixing the first and sixth letters. The endings are strikingly uneven: 84 matches end in S, while just one ends in T. Familiar choices such as RESULTS and REPORTS sit alongside less common entries.

7-letter words with R first and T sixth

• There are 129 tournament-dictionary matches for the R _ _ _ _ T _ pattern.
• RESULTS and REPORTS are familiar examples that end in S.
• S is the most frequent final letter, appearing on 84 matches.
• E is the next most common ending, with 24 matches.
• REJECTS scores 16 points, tied with several other entries.

Which familiar words fit the pattern?

RESULTS, REPORTS, ROCKETS, and RABBITS make the pattern easy to spot: each begins with R and places T in the sixth slot. REALITY and ROYALTY also fit, but finish with Y instead of S.

The ending counts show why the final tile is often S, even though the clue only fixes T in the sixth position. S appears 84 times and E appears 24 times; Y, A, O, H, T, and U account for the other endings. Don’t mistake the sixth-letter clue for a requirement that the word ends in T.

How do dictionary coverage and scores differ?

Dictionary coverage varies: 100 matches appear in ENABLE, 124 in Collins, and 109 in NWL2023. Those counts overlap, so they do not add up to the 129 distinct matches. A word accepted in one game’s list might not be accepted in another; check your game’s dictionary when a move depends on it.

For a higher-scoring play, REJECTS, RICKETY, REQUITE, and REQUOTE each score 16 points before board bonuses. These options share the same score, so the board matters: a letter bonus on a high-value tile can change which placement pays more. The average score across the matches is 9.5.
