The pattern fixes D at the start and E just before the final letter, leaving five positions to narrow your search. DECIDED and DROPPED are familiar matches; the endings are less predictable, with S, D, and R leading the group. The total includes words found in at least one tournament dictionary, not every possible word list.

At a glance, the D…E pattern

There are 550 matches for this seven-letter pattern.
Collins includes 544 matches, compared with 419 in NWL2023 and 398 in ENABLE.
Among the matches, 57 are common by word-frequency ranking, and 451 have definitions.
S is the leading final letter at 199 words; D follows at 165, then R at 137.

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

DECIDED, DEVICES, DECADES, and DEFINED show how varied the first five letters can be before the fixed E. The last letter offers another useful clue: many matches finish in S, D, or R, while only five end in E. N closes 13 words and T closes 12.

The pattern has 550 matches, just below the 566 words beginning with T and placing E sixth. By contrast, the S-first version has 1,401. D gives you a smaller candidate set than S, but it still leaves plenty of choices for a rack or crossword clue.

Which D-first matches score well?

DAZZLED and DIZZIED top the scoring list at 27 points each. DAZZLES, DAZZLER, DIZZIER, and DIZZIES follow at 26. Those high scores come from valuable letters, so a familiar-looking word such as DROPPED is not automatically the stronger board play.

Seven letters also give you the option of using every tile in one Scrabble turn for a bingo bonus. Keep DAZZLED or DIZZIED in mind when the board supports a safe play, but check your game's word list: dictionary coverage varies.

Questions people ask

How many 7-letter words start with D and have E as the sixth letter?

There are 550 matches for the D-first, E-sixth pattern. DECIDED and DROPPED are recognizable examples, while the final letter most often falls on S, D, or R.

Which D-first, E-sixth words score the most?

DAZZLED and DIZZIED tie for the top score at 27 points each. DAZZLES, DAZZLER, DIZZIER, and DIZZIES score 26, making the Z-heavy forms the standout choices when the board gives you room.

Are all 550 words accepted in every word game?

No. Collins contains 544 matches, while NWL2023 contains 419 and ENABLE contains 398, so the lists do not cover identical words. Check the word list used by your game before playing an unfamiliar entry.
