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

Most matches share a clear opening: OUTDOOR, OUTDONE, OUTDOES, OUTDREW, and OUTDRAW all start with OUT. That repeated stem is the strongest clue when you know the two middle letters but have not solved the first two.

The remaining choices include HOTDOGS, LETDOWN, CUTDOWN, and PUTDOWN. Endings vary: four words finish in E, three in N, and two each in R, S, and W. Only one entry is classed as common, so the full set is better treated as a word-game reference than everyday vocabulary.

Which matches score highest?

CUTDOWN and PUTDOWN lead at 13 points apiece; HOTDOGS follows at 12. LETDOWN and OUTDREW each score 11, while OUTDRAW also reaches 11. Those choices offer a stronger raw score than OUTDOOR and OUTDONE, which each score 8.

For a board play, compare the whole rack and available squares rather than choosing by word score alone. The 16-word count combines Collins, NWL2023, and ENABLE entries: Collins has all 16, NWL2023 has 15, and ENABLE has 14. The totals are not a promise that every game accepts every word.

The exact 7-letter words with T as the 3rd letter and D as the 4th letter depend on your game’s dictionary.
