The fixed letters leave three open positions between T and I, then two more at the end. Familiar matches include TELLING, TESTING, and TRADING, while TOURISM and TUITION show how varied the middle letters can be. Only 36 entries rank among the most common English words, so expect plenty of less familiar game vocabulary too.

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

  • The pattern T _ _ _ I _ _ has 419 tournament-dictionary matches.
  • TALKING, TELLING, TURNING, and TESTING are familiar examples.
  • The final letter is G for 127 matches and S for 91.
  • Collins includes 415 matches, compared with 298 in NWL2023 and 277 in ENABLE.
  • There are 333 entries with definitions, while 36 are among the most common English words.

Which final letters appear most often?

G is the clearest ending pattern: 127 matches finish with that letter, including TALKING, TURNING, and TESTING. S comes next with 91, as in TACTICS and TOURISM. Together, those two endings account for more than half of the 419 matches.

E and R tie at 49 words apiece. Examples such as TEXTILE and TOURER show why checking the last two spaces can narrow the search quickly. By contrast, H appears only 16 times, so a final H points to a much smaller corner of the list.

How do the strongest scoring plays compare?

TIZZIES leads the scoring examples at 25 points, well above the 10.1-point average. TOWZING scores 20, while TOPKICK and TACKIFY each reach 19. Those totals come from the letters themselves, before any board-square bonuses.

The high scorers are much less everyday than TALKING or TOURISM. Treat them as options to check against your rack, not as likely everyday answers. Dictionary coverage also varies: Collins has 415 matches, but NWL2023 has 298.

Check your game's word list before relying on a Collins-only entry.

Questions people ask

How many seven-letter words start with T and have I fifth?
There are 419 tournament-dictionary matches for the pattern T _ _ _ I _ _. Examples include TALKING, TELLING, TOURISM, and TUITION. The count includes entries from ENABLE, Collins, and NWL2023, so coverage can differ by game.
What are some common words with T first and I fifth?
TALKING, TELLING, TURNING, TESTING, TRADING, and TOURISM are recognizable matches. The pattern has 36 entries among the most common English words, so many of the remaining matches are less familiar or specialized.
Which T-first, I-fifth word scores the most?
TIZZIES is the top scoring example at 25 points before board bonuses. TOWZING follows at 20, and TOPKICK and TACKIFY each score 19. Letter totals do not account for premium squares, so a lower-scoring word may still fit a stronger board play.
