The fixed TI pair leaves room for a varied set: ACTIONS and NATIONS sit alongside CITIZEN and FATIGUE. Only 30 of the 221 entries rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency, so many answers are less familiar. Counts differ by tournament dictionary: Collins includes 214, NWL2023 includes 186, and ENABLE includes 164.

The pattern at a glance

  • Exactly 221 tournament-dictionary words have T third and I fourth.
  • Thirty entries rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency.
  • A is the most common first letter, starting 46 matching words.
  • S is the most common final letter, ending 93 matching words.
  • Collins has 214 matches, compared with 186 in NWL2023 and 164 in ENABLE.

Which familiar words fit the T-I pattern?

ARTICLE, PATIENT, ACTIONS, NATIONS and OPTIONS show how naturally the pattern appears in everyday vocabulary. The opening letters vary, but each word keeps T in slot three and I in slot four; OPTICAL and OPTIMUM share the same opening sequence.

A is the leading first letter with 46 matches, while R and M follow with 26 and 23. At the other end, S closes 93 words, far ahead of E at 29 and D at 19. That makes plural-looking forms such as ACTIONS, RATINGS and MOTIVES easy examples to scan for.

Which words score highest in Scrabble?

SHTICKY leads the score list at 19 points. CITIZEN and IJTIHAD each score 18, while ANTIQUE, EXTINCT and NETIZEN reach 16. The average score across the matching set is 9.7, so the top entries stand well above a typical play.

The strongest options lean on less common letters: SHTICKY uses K and Y, while CITIZEN and IJTIHAD use Z or J. Only 30 entries are common by frequency, so most of the set is not everyday vocabulary; check your game's word list before playing an unfamiliar form.

Questions people ask

The examples also include ANT... forms such as ANTIQUE and ANT... words should be checked in the full list.
How many points does SHTICKY score?
SHTICKY scores 19 points, the highest score among these 221 matches. CITIZEN and IJTIHAD follow at 18 points each, so the leading word gains its edge from a strong K alongside the fixed T-I pair.
Do all 221 words appear in every word-game dictionary?
No, the dictionary counts differ. Collins lists 214 matches, NWL2023 lists 186, and ENABLE lists 164, so a word accepted in one tournament list may not appear in another. Check the word list used by your game before challenging an unfamiliar entry.
