The fixed frame is _ _ A _ _ D, so every match has A in position three and D at the end. Familiar choices include SHARED, SCARED, HEADED, and STAYED. The set mixes everyday words with less familiar forms, which matters when you need a playable answer rather than simply a pattern match.

The pattern at a glance

  • There are 233 matches, and 53 of them rank among the common words tracked for this set.
  • S is the biggest first-letter group, with 53; B is next on 20.
  • PLAYED, PLACED, and STATED are recognizable examples of the _ _ A _ _ D frame.
  • QUAKED is the top scorer here, at 20 points.

Why do so many matches start with S?

S begins 53 matches, more than twice the 20 beginning with B. That lead shows up in familiar options such as STATED, STAYED, SEALED, and SEATED. If your first two letters are still open, trying S gives you the largest starting-letter group in this pattern.

C and G are the next substantial groups, with 19 and 16 matches. Examples such as CHASED, CEASED, and GLAZED show how often this fixed frame catches past-tense forms. Still, the pattern is broader than verb endings: QUAKED and the less common FEAZED also fit.

Which matches score highest?

QUAKED scores 20, the best in the set, while FEAZED scores 19. AMAZED, CRAZED, BLAZED, BRAZED, CEAZED, and PEAZED each score 18. The Q and Z drive those totals, but several of these high-value forms are far less familiar than PLAYED or PLACED.

Dictionary coverage differs across the set: Collins carries 231 matches, NWL2023 182, and ENABLE 176. Those counts are not interchangeable, so game acceptance is the main limit; confirm the list your game uses before playing a disputed form. The average score is 10.5 points.

Questions people ask

How many six-letter matches put A third and D last?
A total of 233 entries fit, each holding A in slot three and D in slot six. PLAYED, PLACED, and STATED are familiar examples. Because the count draws on several tournament dictionaries, acceptance can differ between word-game lists.
Which match here scores the most?
QUAKED is the highest scorer at 20 points. FEAZED follows at 19, while AMAZED, CRAZED, BLAZED, BRAZED, CEAZED, and PEAZED score 18 each. The less familiar high scorers are worth checking against the dictionary used in your game.
Which first letter occurs most often in these words?
S opens 53 of the 233 matches, far more than the 20 that begin with B, and C follows at 19. If your clue still leaves the first tile open, an S starting point covers the biggest group in the set.
