Only 15 words fit this frame, making it one of the smallest searches in this group. FRIENDS, FORBIDS and FORBADE are easy anchors, but the high scorer FAZENDA is less obvious. The final letter splits almost evenly between S and E, with seven and six words respectively; A and O finish the other two.

A quick read of the pattern

  • The group contains 15 words; 13 have definitions.
  • All matches begin with F by the pattern.
  • S ends 7 entries and E ends 6.
  • FAZENDA scores 20 points, ahead of FURKIDS at 15.

Seven-letter words starting with F and D sixth patterns

A FOR- opening gets you to FORBIDS, FORBADE and FORBODE, while FRIENDS offers a familiar route with a different fourth letter. With so few candidates, memorizing one family is not enough: the final tile helps, and S/E cover 13 of the 15 words.

FAZENDA leads scoring at 20 points; FURKIDS scores 15 and FLAVEDO 14. This is a narrow clue list rather than a general F-word pool, and only two words meet the common group, so expect many candidates to be tournament vocabulary.

The starting letter is already fixed, so the useful decision points are the second letter and the final square. FORBIDS and FORBADE share the FOR- opening but diverge at the end; FRIENDS gives another familiar candidate. FAZENDA reminds you that a narrow positional clue can still contain vocabulary outside everyday conversation.

The scoring gap is worth remembering for a rare-letter rack: FAZENDA reaches 20, while the next score is 15. A familiar word may be easier to place, but it is not automatically the strongest play.

A practical board check

Tip

If your open square is the last one, check S before E by a single word: those endings account for seven and six matches, leaving only two exceptions.
