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

With T fixed at both positions, the remaining letters still create a varied set: familiar plurals such as tickets and targets sit beside less everyday entries. Across the 115 matches, 66 end in S and 20 end in E. That ending split gives you a practical way to narrow the pattern before checking the middle letters.

The pattern at a glance

• There are 115 tournament-dictionary matches with T in positions one and six.
• The most frequent final letter is S: 66 words end that way.
• E is the next most common ending, appearing on 20 matches.
• Only 13 entries rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency.
• Twelfth and thrifty lead the scoring examples at 16 points each.

Why do so many matches end in S?

S closes 66 of the 115 words, so test that final letter early when your clue leaves the seventh position open. Tickets, targets, threats, talents, and tablets all show the same T _ _ _ _ T S shape, giving you familiar candidates before you try rarer combinations.

The pattern is selective compared with nearby choices: 165 seven-letter words start with S and put T sixth, while 566 start with T and put E sixth. Those larger sibling groups show how much the second fixed T narrows the search. Only 13 matches are common, so many remaining entries will be unfamiliar.

How do you search for 7-letter words with T first and sixth?

Start with the final letter, then compare the known middle letters against candidates such as tickets, targets, and threats. If the last tile is E instead, tribute and termite are examples to check. This order uses the strongest ending pattern first without treating every match as equally familiar.

The dictionary totals differ: Collins contains 111 matches, NWL2023 contains 87, and ENABLE contains 78. Those counts overlap, so they are not separate groups to add together. A total of 102 entries have definitions, but a pattern match alone does not guarantee acceptance in your game; check its word list once you have a candidate.
