Pattern D _ _ P _ _ _ fixes the opening and fourth tile while leaving five positions open. The 86 matches range from familiar words such as DESPITE and DISPLAY to less everyday entries such as DAUPHIN and DUOPOLY. S endings dominate the set, but the highest raw tile score belongs to DAYPACK.

7-letter words with D as the 1st letter and P as the 4th letter

  • The pattern has 86 tournament-dictionary matches.
  • Collins lists 83 matches, NWL2023 lists 58, and ENABLE lists 54; these dictionary groups overlap.
  • Only 12 matches fall within our common-word frequency group.
  • S is the leading final letter, appearing in 24 matches.
  • DAYPACK tops the raw tile scores at 19 points.

Which familiar words fit the pattern?

DESPITE, DISPLAY, DISPUTE, and DESPAIR are recognizable choices, and each puts P exactly in position four. DEEPEST and DOLPHIN offer other familiar shapes after the fixed P. A D at the start is only the first clue; the fourth position still has to fit.

Final letters narrow the scan: 24 matches end in S, compared with 12 ending in D and 11 in E. If your crossing letters leave the last tile open, test S first. D is the next most common ending, with E close behind.

Rack scores favor DAYPACK

DAYPACK is the top raw scorer at 19 points, with DRO P F L Y (DRO P F L Y) not a valid spelling; the runner-up is DRO P F L Y? Correction: DROPFLY scores 16. DELPHIC, DAMPISH, DUMPILY, and DUMPISH each score 15, while familiar DROPPED and DISPLAY score 13.

Treat those figures as base word scores, not guaranteed board results: premium squares and placement change the points you bank. DAYPACK stands out when your rack supports the whole word; forcing it into a poor placement can waste its tile value.
