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

This pattern fixes two positions: D sits third, while R closes every match. The remaining letters allow a varied set, from everyday words such as toddler to the place name JODHPUR. Just 3 entries rank among common English words, so the full set is much broader than ordinary conversation.

How does this pattern compare with nearby clues?

The 86 matches make this a narrow positional clue: the pattern with A third and R last has 347 matches, while D third and S last gives 463. Keep both fixed letters in place before testing the other slots; relaxing either position opens a much larger search.

The first-letter spread is less concentrated than the fixed ending suggests. M and P each begin 9 matches, while R and S each begin 8. Examples such as modular, peddler, riddler, and sidebar show how different openings can lead to the same D-and-R frame.

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

For 7-letter words with D as the 3rd letter and R as the 7th letter, start with familiar candidates when you have open tiles: toddler, auditor, and widower are easier to recognize than many obscure entries. The short common-word pool is the main limitation, so a strict pattern match does not guarantee a word you know or a word your game accepts.

JODHPUR is the scoring standout at 20 points, followed by Mudejar and iodizer at 17 each. Those unusual high scorers are worth checking when your rack supports them, but do not treat the top score as a likely everyday answer. Source coverage differs across Collins, NWL2023, and ENABLE, so check your game's word list once before committing.
