Words ending in D are among the most common endings in English because the regular past-tense suffix -ED (WALKED, WATCHED, NEEDED) attaches to the majority of English verbs. Every D-ending word is a potential past tense, which makes D-endings strategically vital.
In Scrabble, D-ending words are constant hook targets. If a verb appears on the board, you can often hook a D onto it for the past tense (ADD + D = ADDED… wait, already there, but SEE + D + suffix = SEED, HEED, DEEDS). Classic short D-enders: AD, OD, ID, ED, CUD, BAD, BED, BID, BOD, BUD.
In Wordle, D-ending words are common answers because past-tense verbs and past-participle adjectives dominate everyday vocabulary. D is also the second-most-common final-consonant in English overall.
