The pattern is _ _ D D _ _ _, and its entries range from everyday words such as TODDLER and PUDDING to less familiar plays. Collins includes 259 matches, compared with 201 in NWL2023 and 179 in ENABLE. The average score is 11.5, but unusual letters push the top scorer far higher.

At a glance: the DD pattern

There are 267 tournament-dictionary words with DD in positions three and four.
WEDDING, KIDDING, GODDESS, and TODDLER are recognizable examples.
ZADDICK scores 24 points, the highest score for this pattern.
The most common final letter is S, with 118 words ending that way.
M and P tie as the most frequent first letters, with 28 matches each.

What stands out among these seven-letter words?

The double D often sits inside a familiar word family: WEDDING, BIDDING, BEDDING, and PUDDING all share the pattern. The list has 18 common entries, while 216 words have definitions; knowing the letter shape does not guarantee that every answer will feel familiar.

Plural and inflected forms help explain the strong S ending: 118 entries finish with S, including BUDDIES and RIDDLES. By comparison, 38 end in D, 34 in R, and 31 in G. If your final tile is S, this pattern has many more options than its other leading endings.

How to use 7-letter words with DD in positions 3–4

For a rack or crossing clue, lock in the middle pair first, then test the first and last letters. WEDDING and KIDDING are easy anchors; PADDock and HADDOCK show that the same fixed pair also supports less predictable openings and endings.

The 24-point ZADDICK and 22-point ZADDIKS lead the scoring list, but these are specialized plays rather than everyday vocabulary. Check your game's word list before relying on a rare entry: Collins has more matches than NWL2023 or ENABLE, so acceptance can differ by dictionary.

Questions people ask

How many 7-letter words have DD as the third and fourth letters?

There are 267 seven-letter words with D in both the third and fourth positions. Familiar examples include WEDDING, KIDDING, and PUDDING. The count covers words found in at least one of the tournament dictionaries, rather than every string that might appear in a broad word list.

Which word with DD in positions three and four scores the most?

ZADDICK is the highest scorer at 24 points. ZADDIKS follows at 22, while JUDDERY scores 19. The leading entries are less familiar than WEDDING or TODDLER, so confirm that your game's dictionary accepts them before playing.

Do many of these words end in S?

Yes. S is the most frequent final letter, with 118 matching words; D is next with 38. BUDDIES and RIDDLES illustrate the S-ending group, which is especially worth checking when your clue fixes the last letter.
