This is a compact pattern: just one of the 14 matches is common, and SATISFY is the familiar example. The endings split sharply, with Y on most words and S on the rest. That makes the final letter a quick way to narrow your search once T and F are fixed.
At a glance: how these matches cluster
- Collins includes all 14 matches; ENABLE and NWL2023 each include 11.
- SATISFY is the only common entry among the 14 words.
- Nine matches end in Y; the other five end in S.
- P-words lead the starting-letter group, with three matches.
- VITRIFY and LITHIFY share the top score at 16 points.
7-letter words with T as 3rd and F as 6th
The pattern leaves a useful choice at the end: try Y for nine possibilities or S for five. SATISFY is the everyday outlier; most of the remaining Y-words, including PETRIFY, PUTREFY, and VITRIFY, have a more specialized feel.
The starting letters are scattered rather than evenly represented. P begins three answers, while M and S begin two apiece; five other starting letters appear once each. If your first letter is unknown, test P before assuming the words share a familiar prefix.
Thirteen of the 14 matches are defined, but only one qualifies as common. That gap matters in a word game: a valid tournament entry is not necessarily a word most players will recognize.
Which matches have the highest scores?
VITRIFY and LITHIFY lead at 16 points each. CUTTOFFS, PETRIFY, PUTREFY, METRIFY, PUTOFFS, and MATTIFY each score 15, putting several less familiar options close behind the leaders.
The average score is 13.9, so these words are not merely a pair of high-scoring exceptions. For a board play, compare the whole word with the available premium squares; a strong raw score does not guarantee the best placement. SATISFY scores 13, below the leaders but easier to recognize.
