Keep the third slot fixed at D and the last at S, then work outward through the five open positions. ADDRESS and UPDATES show the range: one is an everyday noun, the other a familiar verb form. The 463 matches include ordinary vocabulary and specialist entries, so pattern fit alone does not tell you how common a word is.

At a glance: the D-and-S pattern

463 entries match the D-at-three, S-at-seven pattern across tournament dictionaries.
Collins includes 442; NWL2023 includes 355, while ENABLE includes 317.
ADDRESS, UPDATES, ENDLESS, and GODDESS are recognizable examples.
Only 28 matches are common by our word-frequency measure.

How many 7-letter words have D third and S seventh?

There are 463 matches. Collins has 442, compared with 355 in NWL2023 and 317 in ENABLE; these source totals overlap, so they should not be added to make a larger list.

R, M, and B lead as first letters, with 52, 46, and 44 matches. After fixing D and S, try those openings in that order if the first tile is unknown.

The final S is fixed for all 463 matches. Change only that last letter and the counts fall: D at both positions has 111 matches, while E and R each have 86. When a rack stalls, preserve the D and test a new ending before rebuilding the whole pattern.

Which words fit this fixed-letter pattern?

Familiar entries include ADDRESS, UPDATES, ENDLESS, GODDESS, REDUCES, and MADNESS. UPDATES and REDUCES are verb forms; GODDESS, MADNESS, and SADNESS show that a final S is not limited to plurals. TEDIOUS and HIDEOUS fit too, despite their different endings before S.

Only 28 matches are common, although 407 have definitions. For 7-letter words with D third and S seventh, common examples are a starting point, not a reliable filter. ZYDECOS scores 22 points, the highest score shown; ZODIACS scores 19.

Use a rare letter when your rack and board placement support it.

Questions people ask

Which starting letters are most common among these words?

R leads with 52 words, followed by M with 46 and B with 44. Those counts describe the first letter while D stays third and S stays seventh, so they narrow the pattern without changing its defining positions. Try R, M, then B when your opening tile is unknown.

What is the highest-scoring word in this group?

ZYDECOS scores 22 points, the highest score shown for this group. That is a raw word score, so the rack must supply its letters and the board must allow the play. A premium square can change the result of an actual turn.

Are all 463 words accepted in every word game?

No. The dictionary totals differ: Collins includes 442 matches, NWL2023 includes 355, and ENABLE includes 317. A word accepted in one source may be absent from another, so check the word list used by your game before playing an unfamiliar entry.
