Words Containing the Letter T

About Words Containing T

Six T tiles per Scrabble set at 1 point each reflect T's extraordinary frequency. The -TION suffix alone generates thousands of English nouns (TRANSITION, COMPLETION, SOLUTION); -MENT adds another layer (TREATMENT, AGREEMENT, MOVEMENT); and -EST creates the superlative form of nearly every adjective. TREATMENT and TABLETOP both feature T multiple times across compound structures; STRUT is a compact 5-letter word with T in both second and fifth position. T also powers the TR-, TH-, and TW- opening clusters, and combines with H to create the TH digraph that is a defining feature of English phonology.

• •The -TION, -MENT, and -EST suffixes all end in T — when you hold T, check for roots on the board that these suffixes can complete for long plays.
• •TH is English's signature digraph, appearing in THE, THIS, THAT, and hundreds of core vocabulary words — T and H together cover an enormous word territory.
• •T appears in 6 copies per Scrabble set and scores only 1 point — best used in bingo words and long plays rather than saved for individual high-scoring spots.
