Lock T into the third slot and N into the sixth, and the remaining letters still allow familiar words such as PUTTING, SITTING, SETTING, and CUTTING. The collection also includes nouns like ACTIONS and NATIONS, plus PATIENT and OUTLINE. Just 34 of the 249 entries are classed as common, so many matches are less familiar.

The pattern at a glance

  • There are 249 tournament-dictionary words matching the two fixed letter positions.
  • Only 34 matches are common words, so expect plenty of unfamiliar options.
  • A final G is most frequent, appearing in 99 matches; S comes next with 80.
  • O starts the most words, with 24; R follows closely with 23.
  • OUTJINX leads the score list at 21 points.

Which familiar words match the pattern?

GETTING, PUTTING, SITTING, SETTING, CUTTING, LETTING, HITTING, FITTING, and BETTING all share a visible pattern: T is third and N is sixth. BATTTING is not a match; BATTING is. Check each position carefully when a tempting spelling has repeated letters.

The mix is not limited to verbs. ACTIONS, NATIONS, OPTIONS, BUTTONS, RETURNS, and PATRONS also fit. Those different endings matter: 99 matches finish in G, while 80 finish in S, so a final letter can quickly narrow your search.

How to use 7-letter words with T third and N sixth

For 7-letter words with T as the 3rd letter and N as the 6th letter, first write the frame as _ _ T _ _ N _. Then test known letters in the four open slots. GETTING and NOTHING show how different the first two letters can be while the fixed positions stay unchanged.

The dictionary totals also differ: 244 matches appear in Collins, 199 in NWL2023, and 191 in ENABLE. A word accepted in one list may not be accepted in another, so check your game's word list before relying on a rare match.
