7-letter words with Y as the 2nd letter and T as the 6th letter

The pattern fixes two positions but leaves room for a surprising mix: familiar words such as dynasty and hydrate sit beside rarer entries like kyanite and syenite. Collins lists all 27 matches, while NWL2023 has 22 and ENABLE has 21. Only one match meets the common-word cutoff, so expect a specialist-heavy set.

A quick profile of the Y-and-T pattern

• There are 27 seven-letter matches, with Y second and T sixth.
• Collins includes 27; NWL2023 includes 22 and ENABLE includes 21.
• Only one entry counts as common under the word-frequency measure.
• BYZANTS is the top scorer at 21 points; FYLFOTS follows at 16.

What stands out among these matches?

The endings split sharply: 12 matches finish in E and another 12 finish in S. The remaining three end in A, H, or Y, one word apiece. That gives you a practical scan: when the final letter is unknown, test E and S before the less frequent endings.

The word set ranges from dynasty, hydrate, tyrants, and typists to technical or less familiar terms such as cyanate, cygnets, and pycnite. The pattern is much narrower than nearby vowel patterns: with T still sixth, A in the second position has 301 matches. A fixed Y is a serious constraint, not a broad word-finding shortcut.

• E and S are tied as the most common final letters, with 12 words each.
• Only three matches end in A, H, or Y, one for each ending.
• With T sixth, A second produces 301 matches compared with 27 for Y.

7-letter words with Y as 2nd and T as 6th: scoring

BYZANTS tops the listed Scrabble scores at 21, while FYLFOTS reaches 16 and EYEBATH scores 15. More recognizable options still carry solid values: DYNASTY, HYDRATE, and KYANITE each score 14. The rarest-looking entry is not automatically the strongest play; check the board premiums and available cross-words.

A seven-tile play earns the standard 50-point bingo bonus, so keep the full rack in view when a match fits. The catch is that only one match meets the common-word cutoff, and many entries are obscure. Check your game's word list before committing an unfamiliar term; a pattern match alone does not guarantee acceptance.

• BYZANTS scores 21 points, the highest score among these matches.
• FYLFOTS scores 16 and EYEBATH scores 15.
• DYNASTY, HYDRATE, and KYANITE each score 14.
