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

This pattern fixes two positions: D sits in the middle, and T closes every match. The starting letters M and R tie at 11 words each, while only 3 matches count as common by frequency. That makes familiar examples like PODCAST stand out among a set where many entries are less everyday.

At a glance: the D-and-T pattern

• All 57 matches have T in the final position; D is always third.
• M and R lead as starting letters, with 11 words apiece.
• PODCAST, RADIANT, and HIDEOUT are recognizable examples.
• JUDOIST and GEDECKT top the score list at 15 points each.

How unusual is this seven-letter pattern?

The starting-letter split is unusually even at the top: M and R each contribute 11 words, but B drops to 6. Together, those three initials account for 28 of the 57 matches. Try M or R first when your crossing letters leave the opening position uncertain.

For comparison, the same third-letter pattern with R at the end has 166 matches, nearly three times this set. Changing only the final letter to S yields 463. The fixed T ending is therefore the sharper constraint, even though T appears in every answer here.

PODCAST, RADIANT, and SADDest are among the more recognizable shapes to test, alongside HIDEOUT and HYDRANT. Only 3 matches are common by frequency, and 40 have definitions in the available word information, so familiarity is a poor guide to whether a candidate belongs.

JUDOIST and GEDECKT each score 15 points, with HYDRANT and BEDIGHT just behind at 14. The average score is 10.7, making the two leaders notably stronger than the set's typical word. Dictionary coverage also varies: Collins includes 54 matches, NWL2023 has 43, and ENABLE has 35.
