Which 7-letter words with F first and K fifth end in D?

Twelve of the 32 matches end in D, making it the clear leader. FREAKED, FLANKED, FLICKED, FLOCKED, and FLUNKED show how often this pattern catches familiar past-tense forms. FRISKED and FLECKED fit too, though the full set also includes less everyday entries.

R is the second-most frequent ending, with seven words. FLICKER and FLANKER are recognizable examples, while FRISKET and FLECKER are less familiar. That contrast matters for solving: the letter pattern narrows the field, but it does not guarantee a word you already know.

Which matches score highest, and what should you check?

FOXSKIN leads the score list at 21 points, followed by FRECKLY at 19. FRANKLY, FLICKED, FLOCKED, FLECKED, and FRACKED each score 17. Those spellings put K in the required fifth position while also bringing high-value letters into play.

The score leader is not one of the more familiar examples, and only four matches are common by frequency. That is a useful reminder: a rare word can win on points without being a likely everyday guess. The 32 entries are accepted by at least one of Collins, NWL2023, or ENABLE, not necessarily every list.
