6-letter words with E as the 3rd letter and D as the 5th letter

The pattern is _ _ E _ D _, but the endings are far from uniform: 42 entries finish with S, while 11 finish with Y. Fields, trends, and speeds are familiar examples; the pool also contains specialist forms such as fjelds. Only 15 of the 65 entries rank among common English words, so start with recognizable candidates when solving under time pressure.
