The fixed pattern is T _ _ _ _ N _, with five open slots between the T and N and one after the N. TALKING, TELLING, TURNING, and TESTING show how often familiar verbs fit; TRIBUNE and TORRENT break away from that -ING run. Only 29 matches count as common, so the full set gets obscure quickly.

At a glance: the T _ _ _ _ N _ pattern

  • A total of 250 seven-letter entries put T first and N sixth.
  • Collins includes 246 matches, the broadest of the three tournament dictionaries counted here.
  • NWL2023 has 180 matches and ENABLE has 167; those dictionary totals overlap rather than add up to 250.
  • Just 29 matches count as common, leaving most outside the frequently used group.
  • TALKING and TURNING are familiar examples; TRIBUNE and TORRENT show the pattern also allows other word shapes.

Which final letters appear most often?

G is the clear leader: 128 matches end in G, more than twice the 54 that end in S. Another 25 finish with E. The G-heavy result fits the many familiar -ING forms, including TALKING, TESTING, and TAPPING.

G and S together account for 182 of the 250 entries. That makes the final letter a strong narrowing clue: when the pattern is T _ _ _ _ N _, try G or S before less frequent endings. The remaining listed endings include T, A, I, D, and Y.

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

For a word game, treat this pattern as a filter, not a promise that every match works in every dictionary. The totals differ: Collins has 246, NWL2023 has 180, and ENABLE has 167. Those counts overlap, and the 250 total is the combined set across the named tournament lists.

The common examples are only part of the story. TAXYING scores 18 points and TIFFANY scores 16 in the scoring data, while everyday options such as TELLING are easier to recognize. The limitation is real: many of the 250 matches are uncommon, and dictionary coverage varies, so check your game's word list before playing an unfamiliar entry.
