7-letter words with C as the 2nd letter and D as the 4th letter

The pattern is _C_D___: C holds the second spot and D the fourth. Collins lists all 13 matches, while NWL2023 and ENABLE each include six. Only two meet the common-word frequency cutoff, so expect a mix of familiar forms like ACADEMY and less familiar entries.

How rare is this letter-position pattern?

The second-letter C makes this combination unusually narrow. With A in the second position and D fourth, the matching set has 350 words; changing C to O or R in the second slot gives 289 or 108. Those comparisons show how sharply the choice of one letter can change a pattern search.

Keeping C second but moving away from D also opens the field: O and R in the fourth position each match 67 words, compared with 13 for D. When solving, lock in the known letters first, then test the remaining blanks against the exact pattern. The trade-off is that most matches here are uncommon, so confirm a less familiar entry in your game’s word list.
