The fixed middle is N-D, so each answer has the pattern __ND___. The set includes familiar words such as HUNDRED, FUNDING, SENDING, and LANDING, but only 51 entries rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency. That makes this pattern broader than its everyday vocabulary suggests: many valid options are uncommon.

7-letter words with N as the 3rd letter and D as the 4th letter

  • 336 entries match these positions across the tournament word lists.
  • Collins includes 334, NWL2023 has 249, and ENABLE has 233; the dictionary totals overlap.
  • Only 51 matches rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency.
  • S is the leading final letter with 127 words; G follows with 39.
  • B leads as an opening letter: 46 matches begin there, ahead of S at 41.

Which endings are most common?

Start with the last letter rather than scanning every option. Words ending in S account for 127 matches, while G is a distant second at 39; R and E follow with 24 and 23. An S ending narrows the search sharply, but FINDING, FUNDING, and SENDING finish in G, while HUNDRED ends in D.

First letters spread the choices more evenly: B starts 46 matches, S starts 41, and C starts 29. Try familiar anchors such as BINDING, CONDUCT, HANDLED, or MINDSET, then keep N-D fixed while testing the other slots. The same middle-letter pattern also occurs in 190 six-letter words and 97 five-letter words.

Which matches score highest?

BANDBOX leads the scoring examples at 19 points. VANDYKE and HANDJAR score 18 each, followed by SANDBOX and HANDOFF at 17. Those totals reward high-value tiles, but they do not make an unfamiliar word easier to place.

FINDING, WINDOWS, and HUNDRED are more recognizable choices.

Dictionary coverage is broad but not identical: Collins has 334 matches, NWL2023 has 249, and ENABLE has 233. The combined total is 336, so no single count represents every game's accepted set. Check your game's word list before committing to an unfamiliar entry.

For a quick scan, hold N and D in slots three and four, then test S endings first and G endings next.

Questions people ask

Which 7-letter N-D word has the highest score?
BANDBOX leads the scoring examples at 19 points. VANDYKE and HANDJAR each score 18, while SANDBOX and HANDOFF score 17. A high tile total is a scoring clue, not a promise that the word will fit your rack or board.
How many of these words are common?
Only 51 of the 336 matches rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency. FINDING, WINDOWS, HUNDRED, and FUNDING are familiar examples, so start with those before testing less familiar candidates.
Do all 336 words appear in every dictionary?
No. The combined set includes 336 tournament-dictionary entries, while Collins has 334, NWL2023 has 249, and ENABLE has 233. Those totals overlap and describe different accepted lists, so a word present in one dictionary is not automatically valid in another.
