Locking L into slot four and D into slot five leaves 35 tournament-dictionary matches, with endings strikingly lopsided: S appears far more often than E, Y, or A. FIELDS, WORLDS, and BUILDS are easy to spot, while FJELDS is the high-value surprise. Just 5 matches are common by English frequency.

Pattern facts worth knowing

  • The fixed L-D sequence appears in 35 six-letter entries.
  • S closes 27 matches; E and Y each close 3.
  • A appears at the end of 2 words.
  • W is the leading first letter, starting 8 matches.
  • FJELDS reaches 17 points, ahead of every other match.

Which endings and starters are most common?

S is the clear ending to test first: it closes 27 words, while all other final letters together account for 8. E and Y each appear 3 times, and A appears twice. If your final square is S, the pattern has many more candidates.

The opening letters are less concentrated. W starts 8 words; C and S each account for 5. WORLDS and WIELDS illustrate the W group, while BUILDS and SCOLDS show that the middle L-D pair works with other starts too.

Everyday vocabulary covers only a small part of the set: 5 matches are common by frequency. FIELDS and WORLDS stand out as recognizable choices beside rarer forms like FAULDS. The dictionaries differ in coverage: Collins has 33 matches, NWL2023 has 22, and ENABLE has 20.
