6-letter words with D as the 1st letter and D as the 4th letter

A repeated D narrows the pattern, but the endings still vary: thirteen words finish with E, while 10 finish with R, and seven end in D. The dictionary counts also differ: Collins includes all 46 matches, compared with 31 in NWL2023 and 28 in ENABLE. Only two qualify as common words by our frequency measure.

6-letter words with D in positions 1 and 4

• Collins contains all 46 matches; NWL2023 accepts 31, and ENABLE accepts 28.
• Only two matches meet the common-word cutoff, so familiar options are scarce.
• DEADLY, DOODLE, DREDGE, and DRUDGE are recognizable examples in the pattern.
• Final E is the most frequent ending: 13 words finish with E.
• DIKDIK leads the scoring list at 16 points.

Which final letters appear most often?

E and R are the leading endings, with 13 and 10 matches respectively. Only seven finish with D, so a repeated D at the start and fourth position does not mean the word usually ends in D.

DEADLY and DOODLE illustrate how different the remaining letters can look. DANDER and DAWDLE add two more familiar choices, while DIODES gives you a distinct middle-letter pattern. Check the fourth slot first when testing possibilities; a word that simply begins with D does not satisfy this clue.

How do the top scoring matches compare?

DIKDIK scores 16 points, ahead of DYADIC at 13. DIDDLY and DUMDUM each score 12, while DEADLY and DAWDLE each score 11. These are letter-value totals, so premium board squares can change the result during a game.

The low common-word count is the main limitation: many valid entries will feel unfamiliar outside word games. For this clue, 6-letter words with D in positions 1 and 4 are a pattern list, not a promise that every match appears in your game's dictionary. Check that list before playing an uncommon word.
