How many words? Lots, I guess.
I can think of three: "often," "listen," and "castle."
Oh, and a bunch ending with T: "depot," "debut," "merlot," that kind of thing.

It's difficult to say how many, since English has "borrowed" from several languages and some of them, notably French, have a lot of words with a silent t.
Some of the words I found are:
sachet, crochet, chalet, bouquet, duvet, croquet, parquet, beignet, cabaret, flageolet, gourmet, chalet, sobriquet, guignolet, ricochet, guichet, buffet, ballet, valet, guillemet, piolet, beret, camouflet, cassoulet, maillot, debut, picot, griot, ouvert.
Some words I can think of are:
whistle, gristle, epistle, mistletoe, pestle, poulet, fasten (although the t is pronounced in some places), listen, mortgage.

Any words spoken by Tony Blair.
The T has disappeared from English as she is spoke.

'Tsunami' is a good one but someone already mentioned it.
I do use the 't' in 'often' whoever said that.
I am going to say 'POTPOURRI'
