With a zero common-word count and just 21 matches overall, this pattern is a narrow filter, not a source of familiar everyday vocabulary. Most entries are unusual forms such as BAWTIES, DAWTING, and SOWTHED. Dictionary totals also diverge: Collins includes 19, while NWL2023 accepts 9, making game-specific acceptance worth checking before you commit to an obscure play.

At a glance: the W-T pattern

  • Exactly 21 tournament-dictionary entries match W in position three and T in position four.
  • ENABLE includes 7 matches, compared with 19 in Collins and 9 in NWL2023.
  • KOWTOWS leads the score list at 17 points; COWTOWN, MAWTHER, and PEWTERY each score 15.
  • Eight entries end in S, six end in G, and three finish in R.
  • No match falls within the common-word count.

Which matches score highest in Scrabble?

KOWTOWS is the clear score leader at 17 points, with COWTOWN, MAWTHER, and PEWTERY tied at 15. Their value comes from letter composition rather than familiar vocabulary: each packs less common letters around the fixed WT pair. For a rack with K and two Ws, KOWTOWS is the obvious scoring target.

At 12.3 points, the average sits below KOWTOWS by nearly five points. SOWTHED and VAWTING follow at 14, then FEWTERS at 13. Those are base word values; a premium square can change the board result, but it does not change which pattern the word fits.

  • KOWTOWS scores 17 points, the highest total in this pattern.
  • COWTOWN, MAWTHER, and PEWTERY each score 15 points.
  • SOWTHED and VAWTING score 14; FEWTERS scores 13.

7-letter words with W as the 3rd letter and T as the 4th letter

Ending letters narrow the search further: S is most common with 8 matches, G follows with 6, and R appears 3 times. Scan for KOWTOWS or PEWTERS when your final tile is S; DAWTING and TAWTING fit a G ending.

This is a much smaller pool than the same pattern with S in position three, which has 476 matches. The total does not mean every entry transfers across game dictionaries: ENABLE covers 7, Collins 19, and NWL2023 9. Check the lexicon used at your table.

  • S is the most common final letter, appearing in 8 matches.
  • Six matches end in G, including DAWTING and TAWTING.
  • The pattern with S in position three has 476 matches, compared with 21 here.

Questions people ask

How many 7-letter words have W third and T fourth?
There are 21 tournament-dictionary words with W in the third position and T in the fourth. None falls within the common-word count, so expect mostly unfamiliar entries such as BAWTIES, DAWTING, and SOWTHED rather than everyday vocabulary.
What is the highest-scoring word in this pattern?
KOWTOWS is the highest scorer at 17 points. COWTOWN, MAWTHER, and PEWTERY are next at 15 points each, so KOWTOWS stands alone at the top of the score list for this letter pattern.
Are all 21 words accepted in every Scrabble dictionary?
No. The dictionary counts differ: ENABLE includes 7 matches, Collins includes 19, and NWL2023 includes 9. That means acceptance depends on the word list used for your game, so check your table's dictionary before playing an unfamiliar entry.
