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

Write the pattern as _D_I___: the second slot is D, the fourth is I, and five letters remain open. Sixteen matches start with A, including ADVISOR, ADMIRAL, and ADMIRED. Eight rank among the 25,000 most common English words by frequency, so familiar options sit alongside entries you may know mainly from word games.

The _D_I___ pattern at a glance

• The pattern has 23 seven-letter matches across the tournament dictionaries.
• A begins 16 matches; S begins five, and E begins two.
• S is the most frequent final letter, appearing in nine words.
• ADMIXED scores 18 points, ahead of ADMIXES at 17 and ADJIGOS at 16.

Which 7-letter words with D second and I fourth score most?

ADMIXED tops the scoring group at 18 points before board bonuses. ADMIXES earns 17, while ADJIGOS reaches 16. The high scorers are less familiar than ADVISED or ADVISOR, so check your rack and the game dictionary before committing to an unusual play.

Collins accepts all 23 matches; ENABLE and NWL2023 each accept 17. That gap matters in cross-dictionary play: a word recognized in Collins is not automatically valid in an ENABLE or NWL2023 game. Eighteen of the matches have definitions.

What endings narrow down this letter pattern?

Start by checking the last tile: nine matches end in S, compared with five ending in D. If the opening letter is known too, A is the strongest lead by far, accounting for 16 of the 23 words. ADVISES and ADMIRES show how the common S ending combines with that A opening.

The clue remains a narrow one even beside nearby letter-position searches. Putting E rather than I in the fourth slot with D second yields 21 matches; switching the second letter to E while keeping I fourth gives 449. For 7-letter words with D as the 2nd letter and I as the 4th letter, begin with the better-known A-words, then test less familiar matches such as ADJIGOS.
