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

The fixed positions leave five open slots, but the first letter quickly narrows the choices: 60 of the 79 matches begin with S. Just 15 entries are common English words, so familiar examples such as STARTED and STORIES stand out from a list that also includes rarer plays. The counts combine words found in at least one tournament dictionary, not words shared by every list.

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

An S at the beginning is the strongest first guess: 60 of these words start that way. Recognizable options include STARTED, STARTER, STARRED, STORING, and STIRRED. A accounts for 7 matches and P for 4, so keep those alternatives in mind if S does not fit your clue.

The final letter offers another way to sort candidates. Nineteen words end in S, 12 in D, and 10 in E. Try STORIES for an S ending, STARTED for D, or STORAGE for E.
