The pattern is S _ _ T _ _ _, so the fourth position does the real filtering: every match begins with S but must place T midway through. Familiar choices such as SITTING, SETTING, and SUSTAIN sit alongside less obvious game entries. The collection has 313 words, though only 32 rank among the most frequent English vocabulary.

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

  • 313 entries fit the pattern S _ _ T _ _ _.
  • 32 matches fall within the top 25,000 English words by frequency.
  • 257 entries have definitions in the available lexicon.
  • SYSTEMS, STATION, and SECTION are recognizable examples.
  • Collins has 302 matches; NWL2023 has 237.

Which matches score highest in Scrabble?

SIXTHLY leads the score list at 20 points, followed by SKETCHY at 19. SCHTICK, SWITCHY, SPITZES, and SPATZLE each score 18.

Those high totals come from valuable letters, not length alone: SIXTHLY uses X and H, while SKETCHY combines K, Y, and H. For a more familiar play, SUBTEXT scores 16 and SELTZER scores 16; these are base tile scores, before any board bonuses.

How the S-and-T positions narrow the choices

Compare this pattern with other seven-letter words that keep T fourth: 293 begin with P, while 192 begin with T. The S-starting set is larger than either, giving you many options when both known positions are fixed.

The final letter varies: 81 matches end in S, while 44 end in E and 42 end in R. That makes endings a practical next filter; SYSTEMS and SISTERS end in S, while STATION ends in N.

Of the 313 matches, just 32 are common vocabulary, so many entries will feel unfamiliar. Dictionary coverage also differs: ENABLE includes 212, versus 302 in Collins and 237 in NWL2023.

Check your game's word list before relying on an obscure entry. Use the fixed T fourth as an anchor, then narrow by the final letter and try familiar candidates such as SYSTEMS, SISTERS, or STATION.
