7-letter words with M as the 1st letter and D as the 6th letter

The pattern fixes five of the seven letters: M starts each word, and D sits just before the final letter. METHODS and MANMADE are among the more recognizable matches, but only 2 entries rank among the most common English words. The rest lean toward specialist vocabulary, so a plausible-looking answer still deserves a dictionary check.

• There are 25 tournament-dictionary words with M first and D sixth.
• METHODS and MANMADE are two of the more familiar matches.

Which words fit the M-first, D-sixth pattern?

METHODS, MATILDA, MANMADE, MERCADO, and MYRIADS show how different the matches can look while sharing the same fixed letters. The pattern does not require D to be the final letter: it occupies the sixth position, leaving one letter after it.

The ending is usually S: 16 matches finish that way, while A, E, and O account for 3 apiece. That makes the last tile a useful clue when you have several candidates, but it does not narrow the list to one answer.
