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

The fixed pattern is T------K: T opens every word, and K closes it. The range runs from TOKAMAK and TUSSOCK to less familiar entries such as TUGHRIK and TINTACK. None of the matches ranks among common English words, so this is a pattern-solving list rather than a shortcut to everyday vocabulary.

How many 7-letter words start with T and end with K?

• Twenty tournament-dictionary words match the T-first, K-last pattern.
• Collins includes all 20 matches; NWL2023 includes 16.
• ENABLE includes 14 of the matching words.
• The average score across the matches is 14.9 points.
• TZADDIK leads the score list at 22 points.

Which T…K words score highest?

TZADDIK is the standout scorer at 22 points, ahead of TOPKICK at 19. TOKAMAK and TOKOMAK each score 17, while TOMBACK scores the same 17. Those named options give you a quick way to compare the top end without scanning all 20 entries.

TOPWORK and TOWSACK each reach 16 points; TIEBACK and TRIPACK each make 15. The full set averages 14.9, so the scoring is not concentrated in just the top few entries. Check your game's word list before playing: Collins accepts more of these words than either NWL2023 or ENABLE.

What makes this T-first, K-last pattern unusual?

Only 20 words fit T at the start and K at the end. By comparison, 665 seven-letter words beginning with T end in S, making that final letter a much more productive search when your board allows it. The contrast is useful when you are choosing which fixed letter to keep.

The same K ending produces more matches with B or S at the start: those patterns have 41 and 39 words, respectively. Here, the examples range from familiar-looking TUSSOCK to specialized spellings such as TZADDIK and TSADDIK. Treat the less familiar forms as dictionary checks, not safe everyday guesses.
