6-letter words with S as the 4th letter and D as the 6th letter

That fixed pattern leaves the first three letters open, so the answers range from familiar forms such as CAUSED and RAISED to less everyday entries such as AXISED. All 126 finish in D, but the opening letter is not predictable from the S clue: P starts the largest group. Dictionary membership also varies, which matters when you are checking a game.

6-letter words with S as the 4th letter and D as the 6th letter

• 126 words match the fixed pattern, with S fourth and D sixth.
• Every match ends in D; no other final letter appears.
• P leads the first-letter counts with 19, ahead of C at 11.
• 25 entries are common; 106 have definitions.

Why do P words dominate this S-and-D pattern?

P is the strongest opening, with 19 matches; C follows at 11, while M and S each contribute 10. That makes the fourth-position S a poor guide to the first letter: PASSED and PAUSED begin with P, while SENSED begins with S. Keep the known positions fixed, then test the open slots rather than assuming the word starts with S.

Many familiar entries are inflected forms: PASSED, CLOSED, CAUSED, RAISED, MISSED, and TOSSED all fit. The clue does not guarantee an ordinary verb, though; JASSID is among the matching words and also scores 14. PHASED and CHASED are easier to recognize, at 12 points apiece.

Scoring and dictionary coverage for this pattern

The combined list has 126 entries, but dictionary coverage is uneven: Collins includes 125, NWL2023 includes 86, and ENABLE includes 85. Those counts overlap, so they are not three separate groups to add together. Check the lexicon used in your game before relying on an unfamiliar match.

For 6-letter words with S as the 4th letter and D as the 6th letter, PHYSED leads the scoring list at 15, with AXISED, JASSID, and JESSED at 14. The overall mean is 9.2, so those top scorers sit well above typical. Only 25 of the 126 matches are common, despite 106 having definitions.
