The fixed middle pair is DI, leaving the first two and last three letters to solve. Familiar entries such as MEDICAL and RADICAL sit beside less common forms like MODICUM and HADITHS. The list covers tournament-dictionary words, but only a small slice ranks among the most frequent English words.

At a glance: the middle pair stays fixed

  • 143 tournament-list words match the seven-letter pattern __DI___.
  • Only 13 rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency.
  • 74 matches end in S, so plural and verb forms make a large cluster.
  • I and M each begin 19 matches; R begins 18.
  • ZODIACS and BEDIZEN lead the scoring list at 19 points apiece.

How many 7-letter words have D third and I fourth?

The combined tournament-dictionary total is 143, but the individual counts differ: Collins has 138, NWL2023 has 114, and ENABLE has 104. Those source counts overlap, so they are not separate piles to add together. A word in more than one dictionary still counts once in the combined total.

Frequency is the sharper limitation: just 13 matches rank among the top 25,000 English words. Start with MEDICAL, RADICAL, TEDIOUS, and AUDITOR, then check less familiar forms against your game's dictionary. The full total includes many entries you are unlikely to reach for in ordinary play.

7-letter words with D as the 3rd letter and I as the 4th letter

The first letters split evenly at the top: I and M each start 19 words, with R close behind at 18. The endings are much less balanced. A total of 74 matches finish in S, while E and N account for 11 and 10.

When the final tile is open, S is a strong pattern to test.

For 7-letter words with D as the 3rd letter and I as the 4th letter, remember that a familiar-looking entry is not always the best scoring play.

Questions people ask

Which letters most often start these seven-letter words?
I and M tie for the lead, with 19 matches each. R follows with 18, then A with 14. If your first two tiles are unknown, these starts give you a compact set of possibilities before you test the remaining letters.
How many matching words end in S?
A total of 74 of the 143 matching words end in S. That is a much larger ending group than E, with 11, or N, with 10. The S-heavy split reflects the many plural and verb forms among these entries.
How does this pattern compare with other seven-letter D-I patterns?
With R in the third position and I in the fourth, the count rises to 366, compared with 143 for D and I. Keeping D third but changing the fourth letter to G gives 80 matches. The middle pair makes a substantial difference to the available pool.
