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

This pattern gives you a fixed L in position two and a final D, leaving four letters to narrow down. The opening letter is most often F, while fourteen entries rank among the commonest English words by frequency. PLAYED, CLOSED, PLACED, and SLOWED are recognizable options; less familiar entries make up much of the remaining pool.

The pattern at a glance

• Exactly 90 tournament-dictionary words match the L-second, D-last pattern.
• F leads the first-letter group with 18 words; S follows with 13.
• Fourteen matches fall within the top 25,000 English words by frequency.
• BLAZED tops the scoring list at 18 points.
• Collins lists 88 matches, compared with 74 in NWL2023 and 71 in ENABLE.

Which matching words stand out?

Start with familiar forms if you need a quick candidate: PLAYED, CLOSED, PLACED, BLAMED, and SLICED all fit. ALMOND breaks the familiar past-tense pattern, while ELATED and ELUDED offer different vowel arrangements.

The first letter helps sort the choices: 18 begin with F, 13 with S, 12 with P, and 11 with C. That makes F the strongest starting-letter group, but it does not mean every F-word is common; the frequency count is only 14 across the full set.

For points, BLAZED leads at 18. GLAZED, FLEXED, FLUXED, FLIXED, and GLOZED each score 17, so the highest values are concentrated in less everyday spellings or letter combinations.

How should you narrow down this letter pattern?

Lock in the second L and final D first, then test the opening letter against the strongest groups: F, S, P, and C. If your known letters point to a less common start, the list still has 90 matches to check rather than just the familiar examples.

This is a compact pattern beside nearby alternatives: 462 six-letter words fit A in the second position and D last, while 397 fit L second and S last. The 90 matches here are much narrower, but dictionary coverage differs, so check your game's word list once before relying on an obscure entry.
