D is a workhorse letter rather than a scorer. Its six-letter list is the smallest of the five letter groups, at 1,138 words, and the average entry is worth 10.0 points. What stands out instead is the grammar, since 115 words end in ED and 304 open with DE.

Dazzle carries the whole D group

DAZZLE reaches 25 points with two Zs, and nothing else in the group comes close. DOZILY and DEFUZE sit at 19, while DYBBUK, DJEMBE and DEZINC settle on 18.

Z appears in 23 D words and X in 19, so heavy tiles are scarce rather than absent. Most of the group's points have to come from the board instead.

That makes D the weakest letter here at the top end: one word past 20, against 5 for A, 16 for S, 19 for C and 22 for B.

DE opens more D words than any other pair

304 of the 1,138 words begin with DE, making it the busiest opening pair in the group. DESIGN, DEMAND, DEVICE and debate show the pattern.

DO follows with 219, as in DOUBLE, DOCTOR and dollar, and DI with 182, as in DIRECT and dinner. DA holds 164 words like damage and dating.

DR sits at 112 even though it feels common, so a green D does not point to R as often as you might expect. Vowels fill 979 second squares in all, nearly nine in ten.

The past tense lives inside the D list

115 words end in ED, mostly past tenses such as DUSTED and DUMPED.
S closes 293 words, more than a quarter of the group, and drives is typical.
E closes 151 like DEFINE and damage, and D itself ends 130 such as demand.
R ends 126 words including DRIVER and dealer.
Y closes 91 such as DOZILY and deejay, and T ends 77 like direct.

How many D words are everyday English

Only 141 of the 1,138 D words are common in everyday writing, about one in eight. DESIGN, DURING, DIRECT and dollar are the kind of entries that turn up in normal text.

The rest are club words. DUKKHA is a Collins-only example, while its near twin DUKKAH is accepted in NWL as well, which makes the double-K pair worth learning.
