7-letter words with T as the 3rd letter and P as the 6th letter

The pattern is __T__P_, and it matches 28 tournament-dictionary words. Only two meet the frequency cutoff for common English; ATTEMPT and ENTROPY are recognizable examples. The matches also include less familiar words such as EXTROPY and LITHOPS, and the first and last letters vary more than the fixed positions suggest.

7-letter words with T as the 3rd letter and P as the 6th letter

There are 28 matches for this exact letter pattern. ATTEMPT places T in its third slot and P in its sixth; ENTROPY follows the same layout. Those familiar examples sit alongside words such as UPTEMPO, CATNAPS, and SATRAPS, so checking only everyday vocabulary will miss many valid entries.

The starts and endings give the set a lopsided shape: E leads with six words, while C is next with five and O begins four. At the other end, 15 words finish in S, compared with five ending in Y, making a final S a strong clue that still accounts for only part of the group.

Two of the 28 matches count as common under our frequency measure. The rest skew toward specialist or uncommon vocabulary, including LITHOPS and SATRAPY. For a puzzle, keep the fixed T and P positions as anchors, then test likely endings such as S or Y against the crossing letters.

Which matches score well, and where are they accepted?

EXTROPY is the standout Scrabble scorer at 19 points, with EXTIRPS next at 16. UPTEMPO, BITMAPS, METUMPS, and OUTKEPT each score 13. Those totals are face-value scores before board premiums, so a double- or triple-letter square can change the result.

The matches are not identical across tournament dictionaries: 27 appear in Collins, 20 in NWL2023, and 15 in ENABLE. Those counts overlap, so they should not be added together. Less familiar entries such as CATNEPS or TITTUPY make dictionary coverage especially important; check your game's word list before relying on one.

7-letter words with T as the 3rd letter and P as the 6th letter are a narrow pattern, not a shortlist of everyday plays. ATTEMPT is the easy recognition point, while EXTROPY offers the highest score. For a board decision, confirm the word's acceptance first, then look for a premium square that boosts its valuable letters.
