The fixed pattern is T _ _ _ _ P _, so every answer starts with T and places P second from the end. The matches include familiar words such as THERAPY, TRIUMPH, TRICEPS and TURNIPS, plus less familiar forms. Dictionary coverage varies: 16 entries appear in ENABLE, while Collins and NWL2023 each include 17; check your game's lexicon before playing a rare form.

7-letter words with T first and P sixth at a glance

  • 18 entries fit the pattern, and each appears in at least one of ENABLE, Collins or NWL2023.
  • Only 2 qualify as common by frequency; most are specialist, inflected or less familiar forms.
  • THERAPY leads the score list at 15 points; TRIUMPH follows at 14.
  • 12 entries end in S, versus 3 in Y, 2 in E and 1 in H.
  • The mean score is 11.3, putting the top two above the set's typical value.

How does the fixed pattern narrow the search?

Every match has the frame T _ _ _ _ P _, with P fixed in position six and only one tile after it. Familiar anchors include THERAPY, TRIUMPH and TRICEPS; TURNIPS and TEACUPS show how often the pattern catches plural forms. Filter by the fixed P before checking the remaining letters, rather than treating the opening T as enough.

Final letters narrow the search quickly: 12 words end in S, while just 3 end in Y, 2 in E and 1 in H. Scan the S group first, but don't stop there: THERAPY is the leading scorer and ends in Y. Only 2 entries are common, so several valid solutions will be unfamiliar.

Can a seven-letter match earn a Scrabble bingo?

Yes. THERAPY is worth 15 points and TRIUMPH 14 before board premiums. TAKEUPS scores 13; TINTYPE and TOWROPE each score 12, but a high letter value does not guarantee a playable placement.

Under standard Scrabble rules, using all seven rack tiles earns a 50-point bingo bonus. The 7-letter words with T first and P sixth supply exact seven-tile candidates, but rack fit matters more than memorizing every entry. Keep less familiar spellings such as THREAPS and THREEPS for games whose dictionary you know.
