7-letter words with D as the 2nd letter and E as the 6th letter

Only 53 seven-letter entries fit the fixed D-second, E-sixth pattern, so this is a narrow clue set rather than a broad letter pool. The distribution is lopsided: 37 start with A, while just four each start with E, O, or S. ADOPTED, ADVISED, and ADAPTED give you recognizable starting points before you test less familiar forms.

7-letter words with D as the 2nd letter and E as the 6th letter

• The pattern has 53 matches across ENABLE, Collins, and NWL2023.
• ADOPTED, ADVISED, and ADAPTED are familiar examples to try first.
• A is the first letter in 37 entries; E, O, and S each begin four.
• D, S, and R are the most frequent final letters, with 21, 15, and 12 matches.
• ADMIXED scores 18 points, ahead of ADMIXES at 17.

Which endings are most common in this pattern?

D is the leading final letter: 21 words end in D, followed by 15 ending in S and 12 in R. Only two finish in E, two in N, and one in Y, making D, S, and R far better final-letter filters.

Try the final position before spending guesses on rare internal combinations; ADOPTED, ADVISED, and ADORNED all land on D. Among recognizable examples, ADVISER and ADVISES show different forms, while ODYSSEY is the lone Y-ending entry.

This shape contrasts sharply with nearby second-letter patterns. With E still fixed in position six, changing position two to O gives 1,319 matches, while A gives 1,259 and E gives 1,238. The D version is an unusually tight filter, not a general-purpose pool.

How do these words score in Scrabble?

ADMIXED leads the scoring group at 18 points, ahead of ADMIXES at 17; ADJURED and ADDAXES each score 16. For 7-letter words with D as the 2nd letter and E as the 6th letter, those less familiar high-value tiles beat the recognizable examples on raw score.

This is not a list of easy everyday plays: only 11 entries are classed as common, although 40 have definitions. Collins covers 51 matches, NWL2023 covers 41, and ENABLE covers 36; those counts overlap rather than describing separate piles. Check your game's word list before relying on a less familiar form.
