Definitions

Below you will find all 155 five-letter words starting with D and ending in S 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. DRAWS, DEEMS and DISCS 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 and end in S, 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 word list is also a study tool. Reading through the five-letter words starting with D and ending in S once or twice is enough to make the unusual ones familiar, and familiarity is what lets you spot a play under time pressure. Try covering the list and writing down as many as you can, then compare. Use the definitions on this page to attach meaning to the words you did not know, since a word with a meaning sticks far better than a string of letters. Return to the list after a few days and repeat.
