Only 37 words match this frame, and their last letters are unusually concentrated: S and E account for 26 combined. The opening still varies, with SEASIDE, CYANIDE, TRAGEDY, and BRAVADO offering very different routes into the same positions. The average score is 11.6, below the standout OZALIDS score of 17.

Seven-letter words with A third and D sixth

  • 37 matches fit the A-third, D-sixth frame.
  • S ends 17 words and E ends nine.
  • OZALIDS tops the score list at 17 points.
  • TRAGEDY, SEASIDE, and CYANIDE are strong recognition examples.

How do the final letters narrow it down?

S is the leading ending with 17 matches, nearly twice the nine that finish in E. A and O each end four words, while Y closes three. SEABEDS, SHAHIDS, ACARIDS, and AGAMIDS illustrate the S group; SEASIDE, CYANIDE, and CHARADE show the E ending clearly.

The opening clue can be just as effective. S begins 12 words, ahead of A at six and C at five. TRAGEDY is a recognizable D-starting example, while ALAMEDA and ALAMODE give you two A-starting possibilities with different final vowels.

The gap between the two fixed positions is short: only B, C, or another letter can vary between A and D depending on the word. Reading the five-letter frame from left to right helps distinguish endings without losing track of the sixth-position clue.

Note

The list is compact, but most entries are not in the common-frequency group: only three meet that threshold. Keep a familiar anchor such as TRAGEDY nearby.
