7-letter words with K as the 2nd letter and D as the 7th letter

Every match has the same frame: S-K- _ _ _ -D. That sharply limits the pool: the neighboring pattern with K second and S last has 31 entries, while K second and E last has 15. Familiar options include past-tense forms such as SKIPPED, SKIMMED, and SKINNED.

• All 35 matches start with S and end with D.
• SKILLED, SKIPPED, SKINNED, and SKIMMED are recognizable examples.

• Collins accepts 33 matches; NWL2023 accepts 20, and ENABLE accepts 17.

7-letter words with K as the 2nd letter and D as the 7th letter

There are 35 matches because the fixed K-second, D-last pattern also forces every word to begin with S. The pool is much smaller than nearby patterns: E second with D last has 443 matches, and I second has 279. Keep the leading S in your pattern; leaving it out changes the search.

The recognizable cluster is mostly past-tense verbs: SKIPPED, SKIMMED, SKINNED, SKULLED, and SKUNKED. SKYWARD is a contrasting adjective, while SKIDPAD is a compound noun. Since only three matches are common by word frequency, many valid entries will feel unfamiliar outside a word game.

For a rack puzzle, lock in the known letters before rearranging: SK at the front and D at the finish leave four middle slots. Several candidates share an -ED ending, including SKILLED, SKIPPED, SKIMMED, and SKINNED. SKYWARD breaks that verb pattern, so don’t assume every answer describes a past action.

Which matches score best in Scrabble?

SKYWARD and SKIFFED tie for the highest score at 18 points. SKOFFED also reaches 18; SKYCLAD scores 17, while SKIPPED, SKIMMED, SKIMPED, SKUNKED, and SKULKED each score 16.

Those are tile totals before board bonuses, not guaranteed turn scores. SKYWARD’s Y and SKIFFED’s F are the standout tiles, so look for a letter square that boosts one. Dictionary coverage also varies: Collins has 33 matches, compared with 20 in NWL2023, so check your game’s word list.
