The pattern is T _ _ _ E _ _: four middle positions remain open, while the fifth is fixed. Familiar matches include tickets, targets, travels, and tablets; less everyday options include torpedo, tangent, and trident. Counts differ by tournament list: Collins contains 243 matches, compared with 188 in NWL2023 and 177 in ENABLE, a spread that matters when you are checking a game-specific challenge.

Quick facts about this letter pattern

248 words fit this exact seven-letter pattern.
Collins has 243 matches; NWL2023 has 188, and ENABLE has 177.
Only 24 matches meet the common-word frequency cutoff.
A total of 206 matches have definitions.
Tickets and targets are familiar examples; trapeze scores 18 points.

Which final letters occur most often?

The endings are heavily lopsided: 160 matches finish in S, while 31 finish in T. Try a final S first when your rack or clue allows it; targets, tickets, and travels show how often familiar plurals land in that group.

Other endings are much thinner: 20 finish in Y and only 8 in E. A known final letter can sharply narrow the search even with T and E already fixed. Tallest ends in T, while therein ends in N.

7-letter words with T as the 1st letter and E as the 5th letter

The score leaders are not all everyday choices: tolzeys scores 19, trapeze 18, and tendenz 17. Tolzeys stands out on letter values before any board-square bonus; trapeze is easier to recognize and still scores well. Check your game's word list before committing to an unfamiliar high-value play.

For a word puzzle, write the pattern as T _ _ _ E _ _ and test the known positions before trying endings. Only 24 matches meet the common-word cutoff, so many entries are specialist vocabulary rather than everyday guesses.

A useful comparison: T with I in position five has 419 matches, versus 166 with A in that slot. E falls well behind I, giving this clue a narrower pool than the largest T-led pattern.

Questions people ask

How many seven-letter words have T first and E fifth?

There are 248 tournament-dictionary matches for the pattern T _ _ _ E _ _. The count includes words accepted by at least one of Collins, NWL2023, or ENABLE, so it is broader than the count in any single one of those lists.

What is the highest-scoring word in this pattern?

Tolzeys is the highest-scoring entry at 19 points. Trapeze follows at 18, then tendenz at 17; those scores come from letter values before any board-square bonus. Tolzeys is a less familiar choice than trapeze, so check your game's word list before playing it.

Which final letter is most common among these words?

S is the leading ending, with 160 matches, while T is next at 31. Y accounts for 20 and E for 8. If your clue supplies a final S, the candidate pool is much larger than it is for an ending in E.
