The pattern is _T___E_: fixed T and E leave five positions open, yet the matches cluster heavily around S; STARTED, STUDIES, and STORIES show how often this pattern catches familiar inflections and plurals. Dictionary coverage varies: Collins has 254 matches, compared with 184 in NWL2023 and 173 in ENABLE. The most recognizable candidates are not always the highest scorers.

What stands out in this letter pattern?

259 seven-letter entries match the pattern across at least one tournament dictionary.
235 matches begin with S; the next most common opening is A, with 13 words.
Final D leads with 99 matches, followed by R with 69 and S with 65.
40 matches fall within the top 25,000 English words by frequency.
Collins includes 254 matches, while NWL2023 has 184 and ENABLE has 173.

Which 7-letter words have T second and E sixth?

Start with the S group: 235 of the 259 matches begin with S, including familiar examples STARTED, STUDIES, STORIES, STOPPED, and STUDIED. The opening is not a rule, though: 13 matches start with A, and 5 start with E. For a fixed-pattern clue, check S first, then test A if the first slot stays open.

The final letter can narrow your choices fast: D is the leading ending, with 99 matches; R accounts for 69 and S for 65. STARTED and STOPPED fit the D group, while STUDIES and STORIES finish in S. When your last tile is known, sorting by the ending is more useful than scanning all 259 matches.

Which matches score highest in Scrabble?

STANZES leads the Scrabble scores at 16 points. Among more familiar options, STUFFED, STACKED, STOCKED, STAFFED, and STIFFED each score 14; STICKER scores 13. A high raw score does not make a word easy to spot, so keep common candidates like STARTED and STUDIES in view while checking premium squares.

This pattern list is not a definition list: 204 of the 259 entries have definitions. Tournament acceptance also varies, with 254 Collins matches and 184 in NWL2023. Check your game's dictionary before playing an unfamiliar entry, especially when your opponent's word list differs from yours.

Questions people ask

How many 7-letter words have T second and E sixth?

Which words with T second and E sixth start with S?

A total of 235 matches begin with S. Recognizable examples include STARTED, STUDIES, STORIES, STOPPED, and STUDIED. A-starting words form the next-largest opening group, with 13 matches, so S is a strong first check but not the only option.
