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

The pattern is unusually tight: every match ends in T, but only two entries rank as common by frequency. ADJUNCT leads the score list, while familiar-looking options such as ADAMANT sit beside less everyday words like IDOLIST. Dictionary coverage also differs slightly, so check the list used in your game before relying on an obscure match.

The pattern at a glance

• Ten tournament-dictionary words have D in position two and T in position seven.
• Five begin with A; I and O each start two matches, and E starts one.
• ADJUNCT is the top scorer at 17 Scrabble points.
• Only two entries meet the frequency measure for common words.
• Collins lists all ten; ENABLE and NWL2023 each list nine.

Which starting letters occur most often?

A leads this set: ADJUNCT, ADAMANT, ADJOINT, ADDREST and ADHIBIT all put A first. EDGIEST is the only E-starting option, while ODORANT and ODDMENT begin with O. IDOLIST and IDYLIST complete the I pair.

The contrast with nearby patterns is striking. With T still in the final position, 7-letter words with A second number 308, and those with O second number 280; the D-second pattern has only 10. If a puzzle locks in the second letter, that narrow pool makes the first-letter split worth checking early.

The examples also vary in how recognizable they are. ADAMANT and ADJUNCT are easier to spot than IDYLIST or ADDREST, so don't assume a plausible-looking answer appears in every game's dictionary.

How to use 7-letter words with D second and T last

• The group averages 11.1 points, but a strong board placement can change a play's value.

• With D and T fixed, five slots stay open: positions one, three, four, five and six.
