7-letter words with Y as the 3rd letter and T as the 6th letter

This pattern produces a compact mix of familiar words and specialist entries. Five matches rank among the 25,000 most common English words: LOYALTY, ROYALTY, BOYCOTT, KEYNOTE, and LAYOUTS. The average score is 12.1 points, but the strongest play depends on your game’s dictionary: Collins includes all 18, while ENABLE and NWL2023 each include 16.

At a glance: the Y-and-T pattern

• Exactly 18 tournament-dictionary entries have Y third and T sixth.
• Collins accepts 18 matches; ENABLE and NWL2023 each include 16.
• AZYMITE leads the standard letter-value scores at 21 points.
• Eight matches end in S and six end in E.
• The five common matches include LOYALTY, ROYALTY, BOYCOTT, KEYNOTE, and LAYOUTS.

Which 7-letter words have Y third and T sixth?

LOYALTY, ROYALTY, BOYCOTT, KEYNOTE, and LAYOUTS are the easiest matches to recognize. PAYOUTS, TRYOUTS, and BUYOUTS form another familiar group, all ending in S. Those everyday words sit alongside less common entries such as STYLITE, ACYLATE, and RAYLETS.

Only five matches fall within the top 25,000 English words, even though 17 have definitions. The pattern is especially narrow beside the R-third, T-sixth pattern, which has 216 matches. If your puzzle confirms Y in the third slot and T in the sixth, the smaller set makes checking endings a sensible next move.

Dictionary coverage is not identical across games: Collins has 18 matches, compared with 16 each in ENABLE and NWL2023. That difference matters for entries outside the familiar group. Check the word list your game uses before relying on a less common match.

Which matches score the most?

• AZYMITE scores 21 points, the clear top score among these matches.
• BOYCOTT, KEYNOTE, and KEYSETS each score 14 points.
• LOYALTY and ROYALTY score 13 points apiece; the familiar choices still carry solid value.
• S and E are the most frequent final letters, accounting for eight and six matches respectively.
• When T is fixed in the sixth slot, test an S or E ending before searching rarer endings.
