Which familiar words fit this letter pattern?

Friend, united, raised, failed, joined, and gained make the pattern easier to scan: each has I in position three and D in position six. Edited, shield, ruined, and waited also fit. These examples offer recognizable starting points before you work through less familiar entries.

The 40 words classed as common are a minority of the full set. A practical solving move is to test likely everyday forms first, then consult the complete collection when those do not match your crossing letters. Do not assume every dictionary accepts every entry.

How do scores and dictionary coverage compare?

Weized, frized, and avized tie for the highest base score at 19 points each; prized follows at 18. Those top scorers are much less familiar than friend or united, so a high score does not make a word an obvious fit for casual play. The average score across the set is 10.1.

Collins includes 185 matches, compared with 138 in NWL2023 and 135 in ENABLE. Only 40 entries meet the common-word cutoff, so this pattern is better for solving a precise clue than for browsing everyday vocabulary. In particular, confirm dictionary eligibility before playing an unfamiliar high-scoring option.
