7-letter words with T as the 3rd letter and K as the 7th letter

The pattern is selective: only seven entries qualify as common under the frequency measure, despite familiar examples such as NETWORK, ARTWORK, and OUTLOOK. First letters vary more than the ending suggests: O leads with 16 matches, while P has seven and F has five. Fix T and K, then work through the open spaces.

The pattern at a glance

• All 60 entries put T in position three and K in position seven.
• NETWORK is a familiar example; JETPACK leads the scoring list at 22 points.
• O is the most common first letter, with 16 matches; P follows with seven.
• Only seven entries qualify as common under the frequency measure.
• Collins includes 58 matches, NWL2023 includes 49, and ENABLE includes 44.

Which examples are easiest to recognize?

NETWORK, ARTWORK, OUTLOOK, RETHINK, and SETBACK are familiar fits. The group also includes OUTBACK, CATWALK, and POTLUCK. The initial letter is not a reliable shortcut: O leads with 16 matches, but seven begin with P and five begin with F.

Frequency is the catch. Just seven of the 60 qualify as common, while 53 have definitions. If a solver accepts a word that another game rejects, compare the game’s tournament list rather than assuming every match travels across formats.

Collins includes 58, NWL2023 49, and ENABLE 44; those sets overlap.

Change the final letter and the count jumps: with T still third, 778 seven-letter words end in S, compared with 60 ending in K. That contrast makes the final slot especially restrictive here.

How do the top scores compare?

JETPACK scores 22 points, ahead of FATBACK, PUTCHUK, and VETKOEK at 18. CUTBACK, FUTHARK, PETCOCK, OUTKICK, and FUTHORK each score 17. A rack with J or several high-value consonants has more scoring upside than a familiar word such as NETWORK.

For 7-letter words with T as the 3rd letter and K as the 7th letter, treat those figures as base-word comparisons, not a promise of board value. Tile placement and premium squares alter a play’s total. Several top scorers are less familiar, so check your game’s word list before committing; Collins, NWL2023, and ENABLE do not contain identical sets.
