The D-second group has 163 entries, a sliver beside the 4,891-word E-second pattern. A supplies 101 of those openings; I supplies 35. When solving, use the D crossing first, then test the dominant A and S clues, which narrow the search before you inspect every letter.
The shape of this D pattern
- There are 163 qualifying words, and 140 have a dictionary definition.
- A begins 101 matches; I begins 35, while E and O each begin 13.
- S is the most common final letter, with 76 words; Y follows with 16.
- Only 13 matches rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency.
- Adjectively scores 27 points.
Which examples and scores stand out?
Adjectively, advertizing, and adjudicated are strong score checks at 27, 25, and 23 points before premiums. J, V, and Z lift those totals. Advancement and adolescents are easier to recognize, but their familiar shape does not make them top scorers.
For board play, adjectively scores 27 points, advertizing scores 25, and adjudicated scores 23 before premium squares. Those values benefit from J, V, and Z; long words alone do not guarantee a strong score. Check the tile values and available board multipliers before choosing which word to play.
How to use 11-letter words with D as the 2nd letter
When a crossing fixes the first tile, begin with A: 101 matches start there, and S leads the endings with 76. Advertising and adjustments fit those clues; educational is an E-starting option ending in L. Test each open position against the board.
Across the three lists, Collins records 160 matches, NWL2023 records 106, and ENABLE records 94. These counts overlap, and only 13 words meet the frequency cutoff, so specialist forms are common. Check the game list before a rare play, and watch for near-matches with a different last letter in play.
