The fixed P and D narrow the rack clue to 235 tournament-listed entries. Familiar choices include PLANNED, POINTED, PRINTED, and PAINTED, while PUZZLED is the standout for scoring; only 33 matches rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency. The pattern mixes everyday verbs with less familiar game vocabulary.

The P-first, D-last pattern at a glance

  • Exactly 235 tournament-dictionary words fit the P-first, D-last pattern.
  • Collins lists 230 matches, compared with 178 in NWL2023 and 168 in ENABLE.
  • Only 33 matches fall within the top 25,000 English words by frequency.
  • Definitions are available for 195 matches.
  • Average tile score across the group is 12.5 points.

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

PLANNED, POINTED, PLEASED, PRINTED, PAINTED, PRESSED, and PLANTED show a strong -ED family among familiar matches. These words make the final D easy to account for: a verb ending supplies the last two letters, leaving the middle pattern to solve.

Not every match follows that recipe. PRETEND, PROCEED, PAYLOAD, and PYRAMID also fit, so forcing an -ED ending can discard valid options when your rack or crossing letters disagree.

Counts shift sharply with the first letter: 587 seven-letter words beginning S end in D, against 235 beginning P; B has 251. Keeping the ending fixed while changing the starter gives a useful sense of how selective P is.

POWERED and PURSUED are recognizable alternatives when the clue allows different middle letters; both retain the fixed P and D without the familiar past-tense suffix.

Which matches score highest?

For 7-letter words with P as the 1st letter and D as the 7th letter, PUZZLED tops the scoring examples at 28 points. PHEEZED scores 22, PLOTZED 19, PSYCHED 18, and PEROXID 17; PLUCKED, PICKLED, PRICKED, and PHISHED each score 16.

Those point values make rare letters the payoff: PUZZLED includes Z, while PHEEZED and PLOTZED are less familiar choices than PLANNED or PAINTED. The 235 matches are accepted in at least one tournament dictionary, not necessarily every game's list, so check your game's word list before committing to an unfamiliar play.

Questions people ask

How many of these P-and-D words are common?
33 matches are common by our frequency measure, which includes words in the top 25,000 English words. PLANNED, POINTED, and PAINTED are recognizable examples, but the remaining matches include many less familiar forms, so frequency alone won't settle whether a move is legal in your game.
What is PUZZLED worth in Scrabble?
PUZZLED scores 28 points, the highest value among these matches. Its Z pushes the total above familiar options such as PLANNED or POINTED. That makes it the premium-tile choice in this P-and-D pattern, although your rack and board still determine whether it fits.
Are all 235 words accepted in every game?
No. The 235 total counts a word when at least one of Collins, NWL2023, or ENABLE includes it. Coverage differs: Collins has 230 matches, NWL2023 has 178, and ENABLE has 168. Check the dictionary used by your game before playing an unfamiliar entry.
