That fixed pattern leaves a compact set: just one of the 10 words ranks among the commonest English vocabulary. The endings split between six N words and four S words, while U leads the first-letter group with four entries. Most of the recognizable options cluster around forms of “draw,” rather than unrelated word families.

At a glance: the D-and-W pattern

  • Exactly 10 tournament-dictionary words fit D in position three and W in position six.
  • Four begin with U; REDRAWN and REDRAWS are the two R starters.
  • Six end in N, including MIDTOWN and UNDRAWN; four end in S.
  • BEDGOWN leads the listed tile scores at 14 points.

Which words share a recognizable pattern?

Seven entries are built around “draw”: REDRAWN, REDRAWS, UNDRAWN, INDRAWN, UNDRAWS, UPDRAWN, and UPDRAWS. Their endings make the pattern easier to scan: four are N forms and three are S forms.

The remaining names show how varied this narrow pattern gets. MIDTOWN is the lone common entry, while BEDGOWN and PADSAWS look less familiar. If you need an everyday candidate, MIDTOWN stands apart; the rest are much more specialized.

How do the scores and dictionaries compare?

BEDGOWN scores 14 points, the highest total in this group. MIDTOWN, PADSAWS, UPDRAWN, and UPDRAWS each score 13, while the REDRAWN and UNDRAWN forms score 11. Those are base word scores, before any board-square bonuses.

Collins includes all 10 matches, compared with seven each in ENABLE and NWL2023. That means three words appear in Collins but not in either of those other two lists. Check your game's dictionary before playing an unfamiliar form such as BEDGOWN.

Tip
