A fixed final D gathers several familiar past-tense forms, including RIPPED, TOPPED and COPIED, alongside words such as EXPAND and DEPEND. The list has 78 matches, and C, H and L are tied as the most frequent opening letters. Its 12.3 average score leaves room for costly plays.

At a glance

  • 78 matches end in D with P in position three.
  • C, H and L each begin 8 entries.
  • EXPAND, DEPEND, RIPPED and COPIED are familiar anchors.
  • ZIPPED and ZAPPED tie at 20 points; JAPPED scores 18.
  • 14 matches meet the common-word frequency cutoff.

Which word shapes dominate?

Several familiar entries are past-tense forms: RIPPED, TOPPED, POPPED, TAPPED, CAPPED and DIPPED.

But the D ending does not make every match a past tense; EXPAND, DEPEND and UNPAID show other shapes.

C, H and L each open eight matches, so the pattern offers no single dominant first letter.

ZIPPED and ZAPPED share the top score at 20 points, while JAPPED reaches 18 and HYPPED reaches 17.

The group averages 12.3.

Expensive letters can make these plays attractive, yet the most familiar options such as EXPAND or DEPEND may be easier to spot under time pressure.

Tip

Treat final D as a clue, not proof of a past tense; EXPAND and DEPEND fit without being inflected verbs.

Questions people ask

Which everyday examples end in D?
EXPAND, DEPEND, RIPPED and COPIED fit the pattern. TOPPED, POPPED, TAPPED and DIPPED add familiar forms. Not every match is a past tense: EXPAND and DEPEND illustrate other word shapes.
Which words lead the score list?
ZIPPED and ZAPPED tie for first at 20 points. JAPPED scores 18 and HYPPED reaches 17. Their totals are tile scores before any letter or word premiums apply.
Is the final D always a past-tense ending?
No. RIPPED and TOPPED are past-tense forms, but EXPAND, DEPEND and UNPAID show different structures. The last letter is fixed by the clue; the grammar is not.
