The pattern is _A____D: A stays in slot two and D closes the word. Familiar entries include MARRIED, CARRIED and PAINTED, while M is the most common first letter, with 39 matches. Just 40 entries are classified as common, so the recognizable examples make up a small slice of the full set.

7-letter words with A as the 2nd letter and D as the 7th letter

Exactly 378 tournament-dictionary entries fit the pattern _A____D.
Collins includes 366; NWL2023 has 288, while ENABLE has 258.
Forty entries are classified as common in English frequency data.
MARRIED, CARRIED, MANAGED, WATCHED and DAMAGED are familiar examples.
M leads with 39 matches, just ahead of C with 37.

Which starting letters appear most often?

M starts 39 words, with C close behind at 37. W contributes 30, while S and T each account for 28. The lead is narrow: if your first letter is uncertain, checking C after M is a sensible next move.

Several familiar entries are past-tense verbs: MANAGED, WATCHED, DAMAGED, PAINTED, HANDLED, LAUGHED and MATCHED. The pattern also catches nouns such as MANKIND and PAYLOAD, so the final D does not point to verbs alone.

The full set is much larger than its everyday vocabulary suggests. Only 40 entries meet the common-word cutoff, leaving many less familiar choices among the 378 matches. Start with recognizable candidates when solving, then widen your search if those letters do not fit.

An initial M is the strongest single clue, but it still narrows the possibilities to 39 rather than one answer. C is nearly as productive, and W adds another 30 candidates. Treat the first-letter counts as a shortlist, not a verdict.

Which entries offer strong letter scores?

WALTZED and JAYBIRD each score 20 points before board bonuses. Their Z and J make them stand out from familiar options such as MARRIED, but a strong rack score still depends on where you can place the word.

Dictionary coverage differs across tournament lists: Collins has 366 matches, compared with 288 in NWL2023 and 258 in ENABLE. Do not assume every entry is accepted in every game; check the word list your game uses.

Questions people ask

How many 7-letter words have A second and D last?

There are 378 tournament-dictionary words with A in the second position and D in the seventh. Familiar matches include MARRIED, CARRIED, MANAGED and WATCHED. The count combines words appearing in at least one of the covered tournament dictionaries.

Which first letter is most common in this pattern?

M is the most common first letter, with 39 matches. C is close behind at 37, followed by W with 30; S and T each start 28 words. The small gap between M and C makes both worth checking when the first position is open.

Which matching words score 20 points?

WALTZED and JAYBIRD each score 20 points before board bonuses. Both use a high-value letter, but the score you earn in a board game also depends on premium squares and placement. The pattern’s familiar words are not necessarily its strongest scoring options.
