7-letter words with T as the 2nd letter and T as the 6th letter

The pattern fixes T in two slots but leaves the opening and final letters open, producing a list led by S. Twenty-three entries start with S, while seven start with A; only six qualify as common by frequency. STREETS is an easy anchor, while STARETZ shows how unusual the other end of the list can get.

7-letter words with T as the 2nd and T as the 6th letter

• 34 words match the fixed second- and sixth-position T pattern in Collins.
• Collins lists all 34 matches; NWL2023 includes 25 and ENABLE includes 23.
• Six entries rank as common by English frequency.
• STARETZ scores 16 points, ahead of STREWTH at 13.

Which letters start and end these words?

S leads the first-letter count: 23 words begin with it, compared with seven beginning with A. U contributes two; I and O contribute one each. The final letter splits more evenly: 12 end in S and 10 in E, followed by four in A and three in H.

That makes the first letter a sharper filter than the last: S captures most matches, while either S or E at the end still leaves a substantial cluster. Start with STREETS, STRAITS, or STATUTE for recognizable patterns; ATHLETE and STEALTH show the range of familiar openings.

How should you use the two fixed T tiles?

For 7-letter words with T as the 2nd and T as the 6th letter, fix both T tiles, then use the starting and ending letters to test crossings.

Dictionary coverage is the main limitation: Collins has 34 matches, but NWL2023 has 25 and ENABLE has 23. Check your game's word list before playing unfamiliar entries; STARETZ reaches 16 points, but score alone does not make it legal in every dictionary.

For an ordinary rack, STREETS is easier to recognize, and its S ending sits in the largest final-letter group. Don't treat the fixed T pair as a guarantee of a common word: just six of the 34 matches count as common.
