The two fixed squares give this pattern a clear starting point. 1 of its 22 entries are classed as common, and ESTATES, ASCETIC, OSMOTIC show how the remaining letters vary. The fixed T divides the word into a four-letter opening and a two-letter tail.

How many seven-letter words fit this frame?

  • Twenty-two matches fit.
  • Only one is common.
  • PSALTRY scores 12 points.
  • ESTATES and PSALTER are recognizable examples.

Which words put S second and T fifth?

ESTATES and PSALTER offer different openings around the fixed fifth-position T. ASCETIC, ASEPTIC and ASCITES show how a shared S-second start can lead into distinct spellings. ISOETES and OSMOTIC broaden the set beyond the more recognizable candidates.

The top score is PSALTRY at 12 points, and the average is modest. One entry is classified as common, so most candidates are better treated as dictionary possibilities than everyday words. Check your game’s word list before relying on an unfamiliar form.

The one common entry makes recognition a weak filter here. Position counting is more dependable: confirm the second S and fifth T, then compare endings such as the S in ESTATES and R in PSALTER. This avoids discarding a valid but less familiar candidate just because it looks unusual.

The examples do not form a single stem: ESTATES, PSALTER and OSMOTIC begin differently. That variety is the useful search clue. Once the fifth T is confirmed, compare the remaining squares against the rack instead of searching only for one familiar opening sequence.

The fixed T divides the word into a four-letter opening and a two-letter tail. ESTATES, PSALTER and OSMOTIC demonstrate how different those surrounding letters can be. There is just one common entry, so use confirmed squares as the main filter and avoid relying only on familiarity.

Tip

Count from the start before accepting a candidate; the T belongs in slot five, not at the end.
