Words starting with T, then P, ending in S

565 words fit this spine. The 240 most recognizable are listed below, longest and commonest first. They start with T, end with S, and contain P in that order in between — not necessarily side by side.

Near misses
  • tabby doesn't fit: it starts with T but ends with Y, not S.
  • tablecloths doesn't fit: it has the right ends but no P in the middle.
