6-letter words with D as the 2nd letter and T as the 6th letter

Only 11 six-letter words satisfy this exact pattern. The comparison is striking: words with A second and T last number 206, while the E-second, T-last pattern has 204. D is the bottleneck here, not the ending T, so keep the second square fixed when testing candidates.

Nine entries start with A, and the other two are IDLEST and ODDEST. That near-monopoly makes the initial letter a fast filter: if your first tile is I or O, those are the only fits; with A, the set opens to ADJUST, ADDICT, ADVENT, ADVERT, ADRIFT, ADROIT, ADDUCT, ADMIXT, and ADVECT.

The A-first cluster also explains why generic D searches waste time: the second letter is fixed, but the first still separates nine candidates from two.

Which entries score highest, and what is the catch?

Scoring gives this small group a clear outlier. ADMIXT earns 16 points, two more than ADJUST at 14 and four more than ADVECT at 12. ADMIXT’s X raises its face value; a rarer-looking word is not automatically the right play if the board offers a premium lane for a safer placement.

6-letter words with D as the 2nd letter and T as the 6th letter make an exact-pattern list, not a vocabulary lesson: four entries are common, leaving most outside everyday use. The set is consistent across ENABLE, Collins, and NWL2023, but confirm your game's chosen lexicon before committing an unfamiliar play. Compare ADJUST and ADDICT first when you need recognizable options; save ADMIXT for a scoring opportunity that fits.
