This fixed pattern leaves little room for familiar vocabulary: none of the 22 matches falls among the commonest English words. Thirteen finish in S, while seven finish in E; the rest end in A or T. That makes the final tile a useful narrowing clue when a puzzle gives you both internal letters.

At a glance: the D–K pattern

  • All 22 matches place D third and K sixth, so the pattern is an exact filter rather than a loose letter search.
  • Thirteen end in S; examples include NUDNIKS, UNDOCKS, and PODUNKS.
  • Seven end in E, including GODLIKE, BEDLIKE, and RODLIKE.
  • ZADDIKS scores 22, ahead of ZEDONKS at 21; no other entry reaches either total.
  • None of the matches is common by our frequency threshold, despite recognizable forms such as GODLIKE.

Which endings make the pattern easier to solve?

Final S is the strongest clue: 13 words end there, nearly twice the seven ending in E. UNDOCKS and BEDECKS show how the K can sit just before a final S, while GODLIKE and BEDLIKE fit the E ending.

Only one match ends in A and one in T. BIDARKA and GEDECKT are outliers; if your grid points to either final letter, stop testing the much larger S group.

How should you play these 7-letter words?

Treat the shape as a filtering pattern, not a promise of familiar vocabulary. GODLIKE, KIDLIKE, and UNDOCKS are easier to recognize; ZADDIKS and ZEDONKS lead the scoring list, but their unusual forms deserve a careful list check. Nineteen matches have definitions, yet none falls into the common-word group.

Tournament word lists overlap without matching exactly. The total includes a word accepted by at least one of ENABLE, Collins, or NWL2023, so check your game's word list once before committing an obscure entry.

Search endings before memorizing spellings: S accounts for 13 candidates, while A and T account for one apiece. That split makes final-letter evidence more decisive than guesses about the first letter.

For 7-letter words with D as the 3rd letter and K as the 6th letter, confirm both fixed positions and the ending before playing.

Questions people ask

How many 7-letter words have D third and K sixth?
There are 22 matches across the tournament dictionaries. The endings narrow the group quickly: 13 finish in S, seven in E, and one each in A and T. UNDOCKS, GODLIKE, and BIDARKA show how varied the resulting words can be.
Which word in this pattern scores the most?
ZADDIKS leads at 22 points, with ZEDONKS next at 21. Those totals stand apart from familiar-looking options such as KIDLIKE, BEDECKS, and MEDICKS, which each score 16. The rare high scorers are worth checking against your game's dictionary.
Are these common English words?
None of the 22 matches falls within the common-word group used for this list. Nineteen have definitions, but words such as NUDNIKS, GEDECKT, and ZEDONKS are still less familiar than GODLIKE or UNDOCKS.
