Which 6-letter words have D as the 5th and Y as the 6th?

Fifty-four six-letter words put D in slot five and Y in slot six. Among recognizable choices, comedy, remedy, melody, parody, and steady show how many familiar words share the same final pair; nobody fits too.

Starting letters narrow the scan: S leads with 15, while B has eight, C seven, and M six. W appears three times; G, N, and P each appear twice. The remaining matches start with other letters.

For comparison, the same pattern with E in the fifth position has 169 matches. That larger set shares the final Y but changes just one letter in the clue.

How should you use these words in a game?

The -DY ending is rare among everyday six-letter words, so treat these entries as a letter-pattern lookup rather than a common-word shortlist. Fourteen of the 54 matches rank within the top 25,000 English words by frequency, leaving most of the set in less familiar territory.

In Scrabble, chuddy leads at 16 points; crowdy and skiddy each score 15. Comedy, embody, and shoddy each reach 14. Collins accepts all 54 matches, but NWL2023 accepts 39 and ENABLE 38, so check your game's word list before playing an unfamiliar entry.

For 6-letter words with D as the 5th letter and Y as the 6th letter, comedy and steady are familiar starting points. Chuddy has the highest score, but it is much less familiar than those everyday examples.
