6-letter words with D as the 3rd letter and O as the 4th letter

With D fixed in slot three and O in slot four, the pattern narrows the field to 54 six-letter entries. Indoor, undone, and fedora are recognizable anchors, while the scoring leaders include less familiar choices. The endings are especially lopsided: nearly half the matches finish in S, so a final-letter clue can quickly cut down your options.

The pattern at a glance

• 54 tournament-dictionary entries fit the pattern _ _ D O _ _.
• Indoor and undone are approachable examples; fedora adds a familiar noun.
• R leads the opening letters with 8 entries; A, I, and U each begin 5.
• 25 matches end in S, well ahead of E, which closes 8.
• Zedonk scores 20 points, followed by judoka at 18.

Which openings and endings are most common?

R is the leading first letter, appearing in 8 matches; A, I, and U tie behind it with 5 each. If your clue gives the opening, R is the strongest place to start, but those three vowels offer equally sized alternatives.

The last letter gives a sharper split: S ends 25 words, compared with 8 ending in E and 4 each in A or K. An S at the end accounts for nearly half the set, making that clue more selective than any one opening letter.

Only 3 matches count as common by the frequency measure. Indoor, undone, and fedora are recognizable, but many entries are less familiar; check your game's word list before relying on an obscure form.

Length changes the count in an unusual way: the five-letter version of this pattern has 34 matches, while the seven-letter version has 52. The six-letter set edges both, so check this length when the fixed letters are clear but the word length is still flexible.

Using 6-letter words with D third and O fourth

Zedonk leads the scoring examples at 20 points, with judoka at 18 and judogi at 15. In Scrabble, consider the board before choosing a high-value play: a premium square can change a rack's value, while an unfamiliar word still needs to fit your game's dictionary.

Dictionary coverage varies across the full set: Collins has 52 entries, NWL2023 has 47, and ENABLE has 44, compared with 54 across the combined tournament lists. No single one of those counts covers every match, so separate letter-pattern fits from words accepted by your specific game.
