The pattern is _T_B___, and its 20 tournament-dictionary matches are split between two opening letters: 15 start with S and five with A. Familiar forms such as STABBED and STABLES sit beside less familiar entries like ATABALS and STIBIUM. Only two matches rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency, so expect a mix of recognizable words and specialist vocabulary.

7-letter words with T as the 2nd letter and B as the 4th letter

  • Exactly 20 seven-letter entries fit the fixed positions: T second and B fourth.
  • STABBED, STABLES, and STUBBLE are familiar examples among the S-starting group.
  • S begins 15 matches; A begins the remaining five, making the opening letter a strong filter.
  • Five words end in E; D and S are next, with four matches each.
  • Collins lists 20 matches, while ENABLE and NWL2023 list 14 apiece.

What word shapes dominate this pattern?

S-T-B is the dominant opening sequence: 15 of the 20 matches start with those letters. STABBED, STABBER, and STABLED show how the same core can take different endings; STUBBED and STUBBLE offer another recognizable branch.

The five A-starting entries are ATABALS, ATABEGS, ATABEKS, ATABRIN, and ATEBRIN. That small group is a useful reminder that the second-letter clue does not mean every answer begins with S.

Endings are more varied than beginnings. E leads with five words, while D and S each account for four; N and R each appear twice, and L, M, and Y appear once apiece. Use the ending clue to narrow the pattern without assuming every match is an inflected form.

Which matches stand out for scoring?

Tip

STUBBLY leads the scores at 14 points, with ATABEKS next at 13. Keep the fixed T and B in place, then compare the remaining letters for the best scoring play.

Questions people ask

Which 7-letter word with T second and B fourth scores the most?
STUBBLY has the highest score at 14 points. ATABEKS follows at 13, while STABBED, STUBBED, and STOBBED each score 12. The top scorer is less familiar than the STAB and STUB examples, so confirm it is accepted in your game before using it.
How many common words match T in the second position and B in the fourth?
Two matches rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency. The other 18 are less common, which explains why names such as ATABEGS and STIBIUM may be harder to recall during a timed puzzle.
Are all 20 words accepted in every word game?
No. Collins lists all 20 matches, while ENABLE and NWL2023 each list 14. Dictionary coverage differs, so a word that fits the letter pattern may still be rejected by a game using a different word list.
