Across the 44 matches, only 12 fall within the common-word group, while 30 have definitions. STUPID, STATED, ATTEND, STAYED, and STORED show how many familiar-looking options fit the fixed second and final letters. Most begin with S, so check the opening tile before spending guesses on rarer starts.

The pattern at a glance

  • There are 44 tournament-dictionary matches, and every one ends in D.
  • S starts 38 of the words; A, E, and I each start two.
  • Collins lists 44 matches, compared with 28 in NWL2023 and 27 in ENABLE.
  • ETCHED, ITCHED, and STYMED share the top score at 12 points.

How many 6-letter words have T second and D sixth?

There are 44 six-letter matches. T stays in slot two and D stays at the end, but the first letter can change: 38 begin with S, while A, E, and I contribute two apiece.

The ST- cluster supplies the most recognizable choices: STATED, STAYED, STORED, STAGED, STRAND, STYLED, STARED, and STONED. The six non-S entries split evenly across the other starting letters; ATTEND, ETCHED, and ITCHED give one example from each group.

That strong S pattern is worth noticing before you narrow a puzzle by its first tile. The related set with T second and S last has 167 matches, so changing the final letter from S to D sharply reduces the options.

Which matching words score the most?

ETCHED, ITCHED, and STYMED lead the scoring list at 12 points each. STOKED and STAKED follow at 11, while STAYED, STYLED, STOWED, STEWED, and STAVED score 10 apiece. The less obvious ETCHED and ITCHED are worth checking when you have a clear board lane.

For 6-letter words with T as the 2nd letter and D as the 6th letter, a fixed pattern does not guarantee that every game accepts every entry. The dictionary counts differ: Collins has 44 matches, while NWL2023 has 28 and ENABLE has 27. Check your game's word list before relying on a less familiar option such as STYMED or STOVED.

For a broader pool, compare the six-letter hub or switch the second letter while keeping D at the end.
