7-letter words with T as the 1st letter and T as the 4th letter

The pattern is T _ _ T _ _ _: the first and fourth tiles are fixed, while the other five positions vary. The 192 matches come from entries in at least one tournament dictionary, not a sum of dictionary totals, so Collins, NWL2023, and ENABLE counts overlap. Just 17 qualify as common by our frequency cutoff; familiar anchors include TWITTER, TESTING, and TEXTURE.

At a glance: the repeated-T pattern

• 192 tournament-dictionary entries match T___T__.
• Collins has 186 matches, NWL2023 has 151, and ENABLE has 135; those sets overlap.
• 17 entries rank among the 25,000 most frequent English words.
• TWITTER, TESTING, TACTICS, TUITION, and TEXTURE are familiar fits.
• TZITZIT, TZITZIS, and TZETZES score 25 points each.

Which 7-letter words have T in positions 1 and 4?

TWITTER, TESTING, TACTICS, TUITION, and TEXTURE all fit the pattern. TEXTILE and TESTIFY show how the same frame allows different endings, while TATTOOS closes with S.

Only 17 matches fall among the 25,000 most frequent English words, so the full pool reaches well beyond everyday vocabulary. Of 192 entries, 142 have definitions here; the remaining 50 do not. Familiar examples are good starting points, but the clue or rack still decides which fits.

Which matches score highest, and what endings are common?

TZITZIT, TZITZIS, and TZETZES lead at 25 points apiece. TWITCHY and THATCHY score 18, while TEXTING scores 15. Those are base tile totals before board premiums; an unusual high scorer is not automatically accepted in every game.

The final letter narrows the candidates too: 59 matches end in S, compared with 23 ending in E. S is the strongest last-letter clue in this group, so use it to prune possibilities after fixing the two T tiles.

Dictionary coverage differs: Collins includes 186 matches, NWL2023 includes 151, and ENABLE includes 135. Those counts overlap rather than describing separate words. A Collins entry may not be accepted in an NWL2023 game, so check your game's word list before playing an unfamiliar candidate.
