The fixed letters leave four positions open, but many matches are familiar words: record, needed, demand, and method. The biggest clue within the pattern is the first letter: R leads, while the next most common starting letter appears in far fewer entries. Only a small share of matches are common English words, so use the pattern to narrow candidates rather than assume every match will feel familiar.

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

  • There are 442 matches, and every one ends in D.
  • R is the most frequent first letter, with 68 matches.
  • P ranks next with 38 matches; B follows with 35.
  • Only 66 matches fall among common English words.
  • FEZZED leads the listed Scrabble scores at 28 points before board bonuses.

Which letters start the most matching words?

R starts more of these words than any other letter: 68 matches begin with R. P starts 38, B starts 35, and S starts 30, so an R-first pattern is the strongest starting-letter clue.

The examples show how varied the openings can be. RE appears in record, remind, and reward; DE appears in defend and depend. If your first letter is fixed, check that group before testing less common openings.

Which matches score well, and are they all familiar?

FEZZED scores 28 points in Scrabble before board bonuses, making it a standout when rare letters matter. JEFFED scores 20. Those high scorers are less everyday than period or needed, so a strong score does not make a word a likely answer in ordinary play.

Familiarity is the main limitation: only 66 matches are common, despite 442 total entries. Collins includes 437 of them, while NWL2023 includes 330. Check your game's word list once before building a play around an unfamiliar entry.

For 6-letter words with E as the 2nd letter and D as the 6th letter, the practical move is to lock in the known positions, then use the opening letter to cut the choices. Don't treat every dictionary match as a common word.

Questions people ask

How many six-letter words have E second and D last?
There are 442 six-letter words with E in position two and D at the end. Familiar examples include second, behind, period, record, and needed. The pattern fixes two letters, leaving the other four positions open for your remaining clues.
Which starting letter is most common for these words?
R is the most common starting letter, with 68 matches. P comes next with 38, followed by B with 35. Try the R group first when your clue leaves the opening letter unknown, then compare it with P or B.
What is the highest-scoring word in this pattern?
FEZZED scores 28 points in Scrabble before any board bonuses. JEFFED is another high scorer at 20 points. Both are less familiar than words such as period, so confirm your game's dictionary accepts a candidate before playing it.
