This frame is unusually rich in everyday vocabulary. The U-T core sits inside verbs ending in -ING, nouns ending in -URE and a few -TION words, so you meet familiar words long before the odd ones. Most of the oddities are Collins entries that your game may not accept.

Quick facts on the U-and-T frame

276 words fit: Collins accepts all 276, NWL2023 225 and ENABLE 214.
30 are common words, including FURTHER, JUSTICE and CUSTODY.
-ING ends 32 words, -ERS ends 25 and -IER ends 19.
84 words end in S and 34 end in G.
QUETZAL scores 25, the highest, and the average is 10.2.

Which -ING words fit with U second and T fourth?

The -ING group is the largest ending with 32 words. PUTTING, CUTTING, HUNTING, HURTING, QUOTING, BUSTING and DUSTING are the common ones, and BUNTING, GUTTING, RUSTING and PUNTING are valid too.

Look at the letters after the T to separate them. HUNTING and HURTING pair the T with N or R, while PUTTING and CUTTING double it, and QUOTING places an O before the T.

Where do the everyday nouns come from?

CULTURE, NURTURE, RUPTURE and VULTURE all end in -URE, while AUCTION, SUCTION and TUITION share -ION. Beyond those, JUSTICE, CUSTODY, CUSTOMS, MUSTARD, MUSTANG, CUSTARD and CURTAIN round out the common nouns.

JUSTIFY is the best of the lot in Scrabble. It scores 20 on the back of the 8-point J and the 4-point Y and F.

Everyday plurals fill in the rest: HUNTERS, CUTTERS, BUTTONS, TURTLES and GUITARS. Together with the -ING words they cover nearly every familiar play.

A warning about the rare end of the list

QUETZAL, the 25-point leader, and QUYTING at 20 make this frame look rich, but 51 of the 276 words are absent from NWL2023. In an American-rules game, test the word before you count on it.
