The pattern is concentrated at the start: 10 of the 18 matches begin with O, while K and P contribute 2 each. KETCHUP and MATCHUP are recognizable entries; just 2 words meet the common-word frequency cutoff. That makes this a compact clue set, but not a list of uniformly familiar vocabulary.

7-letter words with T third and P last at a glance

  • Exactly 18 tournament-dictionary words place T third and P seventh.
  • OUTCROP, OUTJUMP, OUTLEAP, and OUTSTEP show the recurring OUT- opening.
  • Ten matches begin with O; no other first letter appears more than twice.
  • KETCHUP, OUTJUMP, and KATHUMP each score 18 points before board premiums.
  • ENABLE includes 12 matches, NWL2023 includes 14, and Collins includes 17.

Which matches are easiest to recognize?

KETCHUP, MATCHUP, CATCHUP, and OUTCROP are the clearest everyday hooks, while OUTKEEP, OUTROOP, and BETHUMP are less familiar. Dictionary coverage differs: 12 entries appear in ENABLE, compared with 17 in Collins and 14 in NWL2023. Check your game's word list before relying on an unfamiliar candidate.

OUT- supplies a strong pattern clue: OUTJUMP, OUTLEAP, OUTDROP, OUTKEEP, OUTPEEP, OUTROOP, OUTSTEP, OUTWEEP, and OUTYELP share that opening. Still, only 2 matches meet the common-word cutoff, so an obvious-looking compound is not necessarily one you know or can play.

The final P is a tight filter. For comparison, the related seven-letter pattern with T third and S last has 778 matches; this P-ending group has just 18. Locking in the final tile can therefore narrow a broad rack search quickly.

How can you use these seven letters in Scrabble?

Among 7-letter words with T third and P last, KETCHUP, OUTJUMP, and KATHUMP lead at 18 points each; MATCHUP, CATCHUP, and BETHUMP follow at 16. The J or K helps lift the first three, but board placement can outweigh a word's printed rack score. Aim a premium letter at a bonus square when the board allows it.

A seven-tile play earns the standard 50-point Scrabble bingo bonus. KETCHUP and OUTCROP meet this pattern and use seven tiles, but the clue alone cannot guarantee a playable rack or an open board. Treat these 18 matches as a filter for your search, not a promise of a legal move.

Questions people ask

How many words have T third and P at the end?
There are 18 seven-letter matches across the tournament dictionaries counted here. All end in P, and 10 begin with O. Dictionary coverage varies, so your game's accepted list may include fewer than the full set.
Which T-third, P-ending words score 18 points?
KETCHUP, OUTJUMP, and KATHUMP each score 18 points before board premiums. MATCHUP, CATCHUP, and BETHUMP score 16. Premium squares can change the total, so the rack score is only one part of a move's value.
Are all 18 words accepted in every dictionary?
No. ENABLE contains 12 matches, Collins contains 17, and NWL2023 contains 14. Those counts show why a word that works in one game's lexicon might not work in another; check the list used for your game.
