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

The fixed pattern puts S in the opening slot and T just before the final letter, leaving four positions to narrow your search. The list has 161 Collins entries, 119 NWL2023 entries, and 109 ENABLE entries; those dictionary counts overlap. Only 16 matches rank among the 25,000 most frequent English words, so many choices are specialist vocabulary.

The pattern at a glance

• Every match has S in position one and T in position six; the final letter is open.
• There are 165 matches listed in at least one of ENABLE, Collins, or NWL2023.
• Collins has 161 matches, compared with 119 in NWL2023 and 109 in ENABLE.
• Only 16 matches are among the top 25,000 English words by frequency.

Which final letters appear most often?

S is the most common final letter: 83 words end in S, nearly half of the 165 matches. E comes next with 43, followed by Y with 11. If your clue leaves the last slot open, check S and E before testing the less frequent endings.

Society, streets, secrets, seventh, and spirits are familiar examples, but their middle letters vary. Society ends in Y, while streets and secrets end in S. For comparison, changing only the sixth letter from T to E increases the S-first count from 165 to 1,401.

Which 7-letter words with S first and T sixth score most?

Schvitz leads the score list at 24 points, followed by schmutz at 23 and shmaltz at 21. Shegetz scores 20, while squinty and squatty each score 19. The top entries are less familiar than society or streets, so their high totals come with a vocabulary trade-off.

A fixed-letter match is not automatically an everyday word: just 16 entries are common by frequency. Check your game's word list before playing an unfamiliar match, since the dictionaries do not contain identical sets. The 165 total counts words present in at least one tournament dictionary, not words guaranteed in every game.
