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

Read the pattern as T _ _ _ _ R _: T opens each word, R sits in position six, and the last tile is still open. Collins lists all 160 matches; NWL2023 and ENABLE accept smaller sets. Just 8 entries rank among common English words, so expect specialist vocabulary beside recognizable options such as TRADERS, TANKERS, and TESTERS. The filter is useful when several crossing letters are already fixed.

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

• This seven-letter pattern has 160 tournament-dictionary matches.
• Collins lists 160 matches; NWL2023 accepts 126 and ENABLE accepts 122.
• S leads the possible final letters, appearing at the end of 104 matches.
• Y is the runner-up ending, with 16 words.
• TOPWORK scores 16 points, the highest score among the examples.

Which endings appear most often?

S closes 104 of the 160 words, or about 65%; Y follows with 16. The remaining options are far less common, so a known final S narrows this pattern sharply toward plural and agent-noun forms.

Try TRADERS, TENDERS, TANKERS, TIMBERS, TESTERS, or TAILORS when the board calls for S. THEATRE and TEXTURE are contrasting singular examples, ending in E rather than the dominant S.

Which matches score highest?

TOPWORK leads at 16 points. TEXTURE, TEXTERS, TIMBERY, TINWORK, and TUTWORK each score 14; TICKERS and TUCKERS are close behind at 13. Look at the letter values before choosing: a premium square can change which play earns more.

The S-first version of this pattern has 296 matches, nearly twice this set. Everyday vocabulary is thin here: only 8 entries count as common. Some high scorers, including TOPWORK and TUTWORK, are less familiar, so check your game's word list before building a play around one.

Use the fixed R as an anchor, then test the open spaces against your rack and the board. This pattern has no Wordle answers, so it serves as a letter-placement clue rather than a Wordle solution list.
