5-letter words with N as the 4th letter and D as the 5th letter

The fixed ending narrows the search quickly: the fourth letter is N and every match ends in D. Twenty-one of the 49 words are common, so the pattern includes familiar choices alongside specialist vocabulary. For Wordle, 22 matches also appear in the answer list; the full tournament-dictionary list is broader.

5-letter words with N as the 4th letter and D as the 5th letter

• The pattern has 49 tournament-dictionary words, and every one ends in D.
• S is the most frequent first letter, with 10 matches; B follows with 7.
• FOUND, SOUND, ROUND, and STAND are familiar examples.
• Twenty-one matches are common English words; the rest skew less familiar.
• Collins includes 49 matches, while NWL2023 and ENABLE each include 32.

Which matches are useful for Wordle clues?

Twenty-two words matching this pattern are in the Wordle answer list. Familiar candidates include FOUND, SOUND, ROUND, SPEND, and TREND, but the pattern alone does not tell you which answer fits your colored clues.

The first letter is a strong sorting clue: S begins 10 words, including SOUND, SPEND, and STAND. B begins 7, with BRAND, BLIND, BLEND, and BOUND among the examples. If those openings are ruled out, try A or P, which begin 4 words apiece.

Keep the game list in mind. Collins accepts all 49 matches, but NWL2023 and ENABLE each accept 32, so a Collins-only entry will not necessarily work in a North American game.

How do the word scores compare?

CHYND leads the tile-score ranking at 14 points, far above everyday choices such as FOUND, SOUND, and ROUND. POWND and YCOND score 11 each, while FOUND, WOUND, HOUND, FIEND, SHAND, FROND, and VIAND score 9 apiece. The average score across the pattern is 7.9.

That top score comes from an obscure-looking entry, not a word most players reach for first. Check your game's word list before building a play around it; the recognizable words are safer for ordinary clue-solving, while a high tile value matters only when the word is accepted.

For another fixed-letter search, compare 5-letter words with N fourth and E last, or keep N in place and switch the final D. The broader 5-letter word hub also lets you search by length instead of locking two positions.
