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

The pattern fixes two tiles: D sits in position three, and P closes every answer. That leaves only 11 words across the tournament dictionaries, and just one ranks among the most common English words. KIDNAP and MADCAP are recognizable choices; several others, such as BEDROP and HUDDUP, are much less familiar.

At a glance: the D-third, P-last pattern

• All 11 matches end in P, with D fixed as the third letter.
• M begins three answers; G and R each begin two.
• KIDNAP, MADCAP, MIDCAP, MUDCAP, and HUDDUP each score 13 in Scrabble.
• Only one match is common by the frequency measure used here.

Which six-letter words fit D third and P last?

KIDNAP is the clearest everyday example, while MADCAP describes something wildly unconventional. END-CAP is often written as two words or hyphenated in ordinary use, but ENDCAP appears as a single word in the set. REDCAP and MIDCAP are other recognizable constructions.

The remaining choices call for more caution: GIDDAP and GIDDUP are variants associated with urging a horse onward, while BEDROP and HUDDUP are uncommon. The first letters tell a useful story: M accounts for three matches, G and R for two apiece, and B, E, H, and K for one each. The pattern is narrow, not a broad everyday vocabulary list.

How do six-letter words with D third and P last score?

Five words tie for the top Scrabble score at 13 points: KIDNAP, MADCAP, MIDCAP, MUDCAP, and HUDDUP. REDCAP, ENDCAP, GIDDAP, GIDDUP, and BEDROP score 11 apiece. The average across the matches is 11.7, so the top group stands out without leaving the rest far behind.

Dictionary coverage varies: Collins includes 10 matches, NWL2023 includes eight, and ENABLE includes six. A word accepted in one list may not work in another, so check your game's dictionary before relying on an unfamiliar form. For a nearby comparison, the same D-third pattern with S last has far more matches; this P-ending set stays unusually compact.
