This pattern fixes A in the second spot and D at the end, leaving four positions open. Of the 462 tournament-dictionary matches, 89 are common by English word-frequency ranking. CALLED, PASSED, CAUSED, and RAISED show how often the pattern appears in everyday verbs, while the full set also contains less familiar entries.

What stands out in this A-and-D pattern?

  • There are 462 six-letter matches with A second and D last.
  • CALLED, WANTED, PASSED, CAUSED, and RAISED are recognizable examples.
  • Eighty-nine matches rank among the common English words used for this count.
  • Collins includes 453 matches, while NWL2023 includes 356 and ENABLE includes 338.
  • JAZZED tops the scoring examples at 32 points.

How many words fit, and which are familiar?

The total is 462, counted across words appearing in at least one tournament dictionary. The dictionary totals differ: Collins has 453, NWL2023 has 356, and ENABLE has 338, so a word accepted in one list is not guaranteed in another.

Familiar examples often end in -ED: WALKED, TALKED, EARNED, MARKED, and WAITED. LANDED, WASTED, and FAILED offer other common shapes. These examples make the pattern easier to scan, but they do not represent every valid entry.

A useful clue-solving move is to test likely endings before guessing the first letter. The examples include several past-tense forms, but the opening letter varies: B appears most often, with 39 matches, followed by C with 35.

How should you use these A-second, D-last words?

For 6-letter words with A as the 2nd letter and D as the 6th letter, separate familiar plays from score-driven options. JAZZED scores 32, BAZZED scores 27, and RAZZED scores 25 in the scoring examples; ordinary words such as CALLED are easier to recognize.

Only 374 matches have definitions, so some entries will be obscure even though they appear in a tournament dictionary. Check your game's word list before relying on a less familiar candidate, especially when dictionary rules differ.

For neighboring patterns, compare the same A position with E at the end, or keep final D and change the second letter. That contrast narrows a clue without assuming every A-and-D match shares the same word ending.

Questions people ask

How many six-letter words have A second and D last?
There are 462 six-letter matches with A in the second position and D in the final position. The count includes words found in at least one tournament dictionary, from familiar forms such as CALLED and WALKED to less common entries.
What is the highest-scoring word in this pattern?
JAZZED is the highest-scoring example, with 32 points. BAZZED scores 27 and RAZZED scores 25, making the doubled Z especially valuable when the board lets you use premium squares.
Are all 462 words common or defined?
No. Eighty-nine matches count as common by word-frequency ranking, and 374 have definitions. The remaining entries can be unfamiliar; dictionary acceptance also varies, with Collins, NWL2023, and ENABLE reporting different totals.
