7-letter words with A as the 1st letter and D as the 6th letter

The fixed pattern is A _ _ _ _ D _, and all 43 matches appear in at least one tournament dictionary. Familiar choices include already, anybody, avocado, almonds, and affords; only 7 qualify as common by frequency. The list leans heavily toward words ending in S, so checking the final tile can narrow a blank-heavy rack quickly.

• 43 entries meet the A _ _ _ _ D _ pattern across the tournament dictionaries.

Which words match this seven-letter pattern?

The 43 matches include familiar forms such as already, anybody, attends, avocado, almonds, and alfredo. Accords, affords, and appends offer another recognizable cluster, while alidade and aliunde are less everyday options. Test familiar words first, then use the fixed D in position six to check less obvious combinations.

Ending letters make another filter. S closes 25 entries, E closes 10, and A or Y closes 3 apiece; O closes 2. If your final tile is S, it is the strongest ending group here, with E a clear second choice.

Only 7 matches count as common, so many valid plays will feel specialized.

How do the matching words score?

Anybody leads at 16 points, with axseeds at 15; affords and aywords tie at 14. Avocado and almondy each score 13, while accords and appends score 12. The top score is not limited to an obscure entry: anybody is familiar, though axseeds and aywords are less likely to spring to mind.
