6-letter words with D as the 1st letter and O as the 2nd letter

The fixed opening narrows the search to words beginning DO, but the remaining four letters offer plenty of variety. You’ll recognize DOUBLE, DOLLAR, DOMAIN, and DOZENS; the list also includes rarer forms such as DOZILY and DOXXES. Only 24 of the 226 entries meet the collection’s common-word cutoff, so expect a mix of everyday vocabulary and tournament discoveries.

At a glance: the DO opening

• The DO pattern has 226 six-letter matches across the tournament dictionaries.
• DOUBLE, DOCTOR, DOLLAR, and DOMAIN are recognizable options in the results.
• Only 24 entries meet the common-word cutoff used for this collection.
• S is the most frequent final letter: 58 words end in S.
• DOXXED tops the score list at 22 points, ahead of DOXXES at 21.

Which endings appear most?

S leads by a clear margin: 58 words end in S, compared with 34 ending in R. D and E follow with 30 and 28, respectively. When a puzzle gives you the final letter as well as DO, testing S or R first covers more of this pattern than starting with a less frequent ending.

The examples show how much the last letters change the word shape. DOZENS and DONORS finish in S, while DOCTOR and DODGER end in R; DOOMED ends in D, and DOUBLE ends in E. The opening stays fixed, so a known final letter quickly sorts the remaining candidates.

What are the highest Scrabble scores?

DOXXED leads at 22 points, followed by DOXXES at 21. DOZILY scores 19, while DOGFOX reaches 18. These are strong raw scores among the DO words, but the standout letter values do the work; don’t assume a familiar word like DOUBLE will score as much.

The 226 matches form a union, not a promise that every entry appears in every game dictionary. Collins includes 219, NWL2023 has 157, and ENABLE has 137. Some words therefore depend on your ruleset; check your game’s word list before playing an unfamiliar entry.
