Here is the complete list of five-letter words containing both T and X: 38 words in total. We sort common words to the top because they are the ones you are most likely to be looking for, whether you are solving a puzzle or checking a play. Words such as EXACT and EXIST lead the way. If you need something more specific, the search box accepts your own letters with question marks for blanks and applies this page's constraint automatically.
How to use this page
The quickest route to an answer is the search box: enter your letters, use a question mark for a blank, and the list shrinks to the playable words. If you would rather browse, the chips below are sorted with common words first, and the related links lead to neighbouring lists for other letters and lengths.
Tips
A blank tile is the most powerful piece on your rack because it stands in for any letter. When you search this list with a blank, the tool underlines the letter the blank replaced so you know which tile to lay down. Spend a blank only when it unlocks a long word or a premium square; using it for a three-letter play is almost always a waste. If you hold two blanks, look for a word from this list that needs both, because a seven-tile play with the bonus outscores nearly everything else.
Questions
Which five-letter words containing both T and X are the most common?
EXACT, EXIST and EXTRA are among the most familiar. The list is sorted with everyday words first, and the very common ones carry a small dot, so you can read the top of the page and skip the obscure entries at the bottom.
Can I search this list with my own letters?
Yes. Type your letters into the search box at the top of the page, using a question mark for a blank, and the tool will show only the five-letter words containing both T and X you can actually spell from that rack, with scores.
