7-letter words with T as the 3rd letter and T as the 5th letter

The pattern is _ _ T _ T _ _, so two of the seven positions are fixed and five remain open. That constraint yields 53 tournament-dictionary entries, but only 4 count as common. Familiar finds such as ESTATES sit beside less familiar choices, making the list most useful when a crossing letter narrows your options.

At a glance: the T-T pattern

• Exactly 53 seven-letter entries match; the third and fifth tiles are T, leaving five positions open.
• Only 4 matches are classified as common, so familiar candidates make up a small part of the list.
• ESTATES, BATHTUB, ROTATED, MUTATED, and ROTATES are standout examples; 43 matching entries have definitions.
• Final S is most frequent at 16 words, ahead of C at 9; checking the last tile quickly narrows the search.

Which familiar words fit T in both positions?

ESTATES, BATHTUB, ROTATED, MUTATED, and ROTATES all place T exactly where the clue requires. Their endings differ, though: ESTATES and ROTATES finish in S, BATHTUB ends in B, and ROTATED and MUTATED end in D.

Look for word families when the rack offers several promising letters. ROTATED and ROTATES share the opening sequence, while MUTATED and MUTATES follow a similar pattern. That makes a known ending or a crossing tile more valuable than guessing from the two T positions alone.
