6-letter words with B as the 3rd letter and D as the 6th letter

With B fixed in the third slot and D at the end, the pattern is __B__D. Familiar entries include HYBRID, ROBBED, RUBBED, and TABLED, but the full set also contains less obvious forms such as RIBAND and WEBFED. The counts vary by tournament dictionary, so a candidate can fit the pattern without appearing in every game's word list.

How many matches are there, and which stand out?

• Exactly 75 tournament-dictionary words fit the pattern __B__D.
• Collins includes 75 matches; NWL2023 has 60, while ENABLE has 58.
• Four matches fall within our common-word frequency cutoff.
• R leads as a first letter with 10 matches; C and T each have seven.
• JABBED, JOBBED, and JIBBED top the Scrabble scores at 18 points.

Which matching words are easiest to recognize?

The familiar examples include ROBBED, DUBBED, RUBBED, SUBBED, TABLED, and CABLED. Several have a doubled consonant before the final D, making the past-tense pattern easy to spot once the fixed B is in place.

Other candidates break that mold. HYBRID, IMBUED, INBRED, FABLED, and RIBAND all fit __B__D, even though they do not share the same ending sound or word shape.

A first-letter clue can narrow the search: R appears most often, while C and T tie behind it. Keep those openings in mind after confirming the third and sixth letters; shifting either fixed letter rules out every match.
