6-letter words with X as the 2nd letter and D as the 4th letter

This narrow pattern has 11 tournament-dictionary words, from familiar EXODUS to less common forms such as EXODIC and IXODID. Every match starts with E, O, or I, and only one is common by the frequency measure used here. The fixed letters do not guarantee a familiar answer, so check the endings carefully.

Which 6-letter words have X second and D fourth?

The 6-letter words with X as the 2nd letter and D as the 4th letter are EXODUS, OXIDES, EXUDES, EXUDED, EXEDRA, EXODES, EXODIC, EXODOI, EXODOS, IXODID, and OXIDIC. EXODUS and OXIDES stand out as the most recognizable entries; several of the others are specialist or uncommon forms.

EXODUS, EXUDES, EXUDED, EXEDRA, EXODES, EXODIC, EXODOI, and EXODOS begin with E. OXIDES and OXIDIC begin with O, while IXODID is the sole I-initial match. That makes the first letter a useful filter when your crossing tiles narrow the opening position.

How do the dictionaries and scores compare?

Collins includes all 11 words; ENABLE and NWL2023 include 9 each. The narrower North American and ENABLE counts mean that two entries appear in Collins but not in either of those lists. Check your game's word list before relying on an obscure match.

OXIDIC and EXODIC score 16 points apiece, ahead of EXUDED and IXODID at 15. EXODUS, OXIDES, and EXUDES each score 14. Because only one of these words is common, the score leaders are more likely to help with a board opportunity than with everyday recall.
