7-letter words with T as the 1st letter and T as the 3rd letter

The repeated T fixes two positions, leaving four letters open. That pattern turns up familiar words such as TITANIC and TOTALED, alongside less everyday plays like TITHING. Only 5 matches rank among the most common English words, so the full set is broader than an everyday vocabulary list.

The T-T pattern at a glance

• 87 seven-letter entries start with T and place another T in position three.
• 68 matches have definitions, while only 5 meet the common-word frequency cutoff.
• TOTALLY, TATTOOS, TITANIC, TOTALED, and TUTORED are recognizable examples.
• Final S is the most frequent ending: 34 words end in S, compared with 11 in G and 8 in D.
• Collins includes 84 matches; NWL2023 includes 59, and ENABLE includes 53.

How many words fit the T-T pattern?

There are 87 seven-letter matches. The same first-and-third-letter pattern has 34 five-letter entries and 72 six-letter entries, so the seven-letter group is larger than either shorter set.

The third-letter constraint matters: these are not simply all seven-letter words beginning with T. Keep the second position open when scanning, then check that the third tile is T; T?T???? captures the clue without ruling out a valid middle letter. Final S leads the endings with 34 matches; only 4 finish with T.

7-letter words with T as the 1st letter and T as the 3rd letter

For Scrabble, TYTHING and TUTWORK lead the scoring examples at 14 points each; TETCHED follows at 13. Those are stronger raw scores than familiar TOTALLY, so inspect the letter values before choosing a word for a rack.

The word set has a real limitation: only 5 entries are common, and Collins, NWL2023, and ENABLE do not contain identical counts. Check your game's word list before relying on an unusual match; the most familiar examples are easier to recognize, but not automatically the best scoring plays.
