The pattern is __E_D__, so the third and fifth tiles are fixed while the other five positions stay open. Familiar words such as FREEDOM, BLENDED, and CHEDDAR sit beside less common forms including CHEFDOM and OVERDRY. Collins accepts 87 matches, while ENABLE accepts 70.

The fixed-letter pattern at a glance

  • A total of 91 tournament-dictionary words have E in position three and D in position five.
  • Collins includes 87 matches, the broadest of the three named tournament lists for this pattern.
  • ENABLE includes 70 words, while NWL2023 includes 77.
  • Only 15 entries rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency, so many matches are uncommon.
  • S starts 25 matches, while D ends 30, making those the leading first and final letters.

Which words are easiest to recognize?

Start with familiar examples that reveal the pattern clearly: FREEDOM, PLEADED, BLENDED, and CHEDDAR all put E third and D fifth. YIELDED and DREADED fit too, while SLENDER and BLENDER show that the same fixed letters can lead to an R ending.

The endings have a noticeable tilt. D is last in 30 matches, including AMENDED, YIELDED, and BREADED; R is last in 21, including SLENDER, BREEDER, and SPENDER. S begins 25 words, but B, O, and T begin eight each, so scanning by the first letter can quickly narrow the candidates.

How should you use this pattern in a word game?

For 7-letter words with E as the 3rd letter and D as the 5th letter, lock those two positions first, then test the open tiles around them. WEEKDAY and CHEFDOM each score 18 Scrabble points, the top score in this group; FIEFDOM scores 16 and GEEKDOM scores 15.

Those scoring standouts are less familiar than FREEDOM or CHEDDAR, and only 15 matches are common by frequency. Treat the score as a tile-value starting point, not a promise of a strong board play: premium squares and the words already on the board still matter. Dictionary coverage also differs, so check your game's word list before playing a less familiar match.

Questions people ask

How many 7-letter words have E third and D fifth?
There are 91 matching words in the tournament dictionaries counted here. The fixed pattern is __E_D__, leaving five positions open. FREEDOM, PLEADED, and BLENDED are recognizable examples, while CHEFDOM and OVERDRY are less familiar options.
Which matching word has the highest Scrabble score?
WEEKDAY and CHEFDOM tie at 18 Scrabble points each. FIEFDOM follows at 16, with GEEKDOM at 15. These are tile scores before board premiums, so a lower-scoring word can still make the stronger play on a particular board.
Do all 91 words appear in every game's dictionary?
No. Collins includes 87 matches, NWL2023 includes 77, and ENABLE includes 70. The total counts words accepted by at least one of those tournament lists, not words shared by every list.
