The adjacent I–D pair begins a broad family of 190 tournament-list words. MIDSIZE, MIDTERM and MIDWEEK make the MID- cluster obvious, while KIDDING and BIDDING show a different shape. Twelve entries meet the common-word cutoff; the third-letter frame itself is far from rare.

Seven-letter words with I second and D third at a glance

  • The pattern has 190 matches and 160 defined entries.
  • MIDSIZE leads the scoring list at 19 points.
  • MIDWEEK scores 17; PIDDock scores 17 as well.
  • M begins 34 words, more than any other starting letter.

Why does the MID- group stand out?

MIDLAND, MIDTERM, MIDTOWN, MIDWIFE and MIDWEEK all start with the same three-letter run. M begins 34 matches, comfortably ahead of K at 19 and R at 15. When your first square is open, M is a productive route into this particular cluster.

The rest of the examples spread into other families: KIDDING, BIDDING, WIDENED and HIDEOUS all preserve the fixed pair but change the word shape. S is the most frequent ending, with 79 entries; R follows at 18. That strong S finish often comes from plural or verb forms, so inspect the base word before treating it as a suffix clue.

Which entries are worth checking for points?

MIDSIZE scores 19, and MIDWEEK and PIDDOCK each score 17 in the score ranking. MIDWIFE and MIDRIFF are also among the listed high scorers at 16. The familiar MID- spellings make better first candidates, while unusual forms deserve a dictionary lookup before you build a move around them.

The set has no entries for the five-letter answer game. The list is broader than its everyday vocabulary suggests: 160 entries have definitions, but just 12 meet the common-word cutoff. Use the repeated MID- shape for crosswords, then check an unfamiliar candidate in your game dictionary.

A quick solving tip

Tip

With a known I–D start to the word, try M as the first letter when the clue permits: it opens 34 matches, more than K or R.
