Below you will find all 1,226 ten-letter words starting with D from our dictionary, grouped in one list with the common words first. Each chip shows the word and its classic tile score, and a small dot marks the words that appear in everyday English. DIFFICULTY, DIFFERENCE and DEFINITELY are typical of the familiar entries. To check which of these you can spell right now, enter your letters in the box above and press search.
How to use this page
This page works as both a reference and a tool. As a reference, it lists every word that start with D, sorted by familiarity. As a tool, it accepts your own letters in the search box and returns the subset you can play, with scores. The related links at the end cover neighbouring letters and lengths.
Tips
A blank tile is the most powerful piece on your rack because it stands in for any letter. When you search this list with a blank, the tool underlines the letter the blank replaced so you know which tile to lay down. Spend a blank only when it unlocks a long word or a premium square; using it for a three-letter play is almost always a waste. If you hold two blanks, look for a word from this list that needs both, because a seven-tile play with the bonus outscores nearly everything else.
Questions
Which ten-letter words starting with D are the most common?
DIFFICULTY, DIFFERENCE and DEFINITELY are among the most familiar. The list is sorted with everyday words first, and the very common ones carry a small dot, so you can read the top of the page and skip the obscure entries at the bottom.
Can I search this list with my own letters?
Yes. Type your letters into the search box at the top of the page, using a question mark for a blank, and the tool will show only the ten-letter words starting with D you can actually spell from that rack, with scores.
