The shape is __A___D: A stays in slot three, while D closes every entry. Started, changed, learned, and reached show why the pattern often catches past-tense verbs, though diamond is a familiar noun. There are 86 common entries, while 365 have definitions; the counts include words found in at least one tournament dictionary.

At a glance: the A-third, D-last pattern

All 436 matches put A third and D seventh.
Every entry ends in D; none ends in another letter.
S is the most common first letter, with 130 entries.
C ranks second, with 53.
Quaffed and quacked lead Scrabble scoring at 23 points apiece.

Which words are easiest to recognize?

Started, changed, learned, reached, and planned are familiar examples, and each fits the seven-letter frame. Their endings make the constraint less restrictive than it first looks: the final D often marks a past-tense form, but the set also includes nouns such as diamond.

Starting letters are unevenly distributed. S leads with 130 entries, more than twice C's 53; B has 33 and P has 31. That makes the first position a strong sorting clue, while the middle A and final D stay fixed.

Of the 436 words, just 86 count as common by wordfreq, so expect less familiar game entries too.

7-letter words with A as the 3rd letter and D as the 7th letter

Quaffed and quacked tie for the highest score at 23 points, ahead of whacked, quashed, and weazand at 20. Chaffed, quadded, opaqued, and chacked each score 19. These are point-seeking choices, not everyday vocabulary; check your game's dictionary before risking an unfamiliar play.

For a rack search, lock A into the third cell and D into the seventh, then test the open positions against familiar words. Started and planned are easy to spot, while diamond proves the pattern is not only verb forms. Collins lists 426 matches, compared with 340 in NWL2023 and 315 in ENABLE, so game lists differ.

The 365 defined entries still include specialist vocabulary; tournament acceptance and familiarity are separate questions. A high score does not make a word playable in every ruleset.

Questions people ask

How many common words fit this seven-letter pattern?

There are 86 common words with A third and D last. Common here means the word falls within the top 25,000 English words by wordfreq frequency. Familiar examples include started, changed, and learned, but many matches are less common.

Which word scores highest with A third and D last?

Quaffed and quacked share the top score, at 23 points each. Whacked, quashed, and weazand follow at 20 points. Check your game's word list before playing an unfamiliar high scorer, since dictionary coverage varies.

Are all seven-letter words in this pattern past-tense verbs?

No. Started and planned are past-tense verbs, but diamond is a familiar noun with the same letter positions. The full set has 436 matches, so the pattern covers more than one word type and includes less familiar vocabulary as well.
