6-letter words with D as the 2nd letter and D as the 3rd letter

The double D is fixed in the middle, but the words around it vary: 12 begin with A, 4 with E, 3 with O, and 1 with U. Only 2 of the 20 are classified as common, so familiar choices such as ADDING and ADDICT sit alongside rarer entries. The pattern gives you a narrow clue, not a list of everyday vocabulary.

The pattern at a glance

• There are 20 tournament-dictionary words with DD in positions two and three.
• ADDING, ADDICT, ODDITY, and ODDEST are recognizable examples.
• Seven words end in S, more than any other final letter.
• ODDITY, ODDISH, and EDDISH share the top score of 11.

6-letter words with D as the 2nd letter and D as the 3rd letter

The starting letters make this pattern unusually concentrated: A accounts for 12 matches, while E has 4 and O has 3. U contributes just one. That makes the first letter a strong filter when you already know the middle pair; an A-starting answer is much more likely than a U-starting one.

The endings cluster too. Seven entries finish in S, including ADDIES, ADDLES, and EDDIES. Three end in D and three in T, while H and M each close two words.

If your crossing letters point to a final S, check that group before testing less common endings.

Which matches score highest, and where are they valid?

ODDITY, ODDISH, and EDDISH each score 11 in Scrabble, the highest value among these matches. ADDICT, ADDUCT, and ADDUCE score 10; ADDING and ADDLED score 9. The double D itself is not the whole scoring story, so compare the other letters before choosing a play.

Collins lists all 20 matches, while ENABLE and NWL2023 each include 15. That gap matters in tournament play: a Collins-valid word may not be accepted in an NWL2023 or ENABLE game. Most entries are not common vocabulary, so check your game's word list before committing an unfamiliar form.
