Words starting with D, then R, ending in S

1798 words fit this spine. The 240 most recognizable are listed below, longest and commonest first. They start with D, end with S, and contain R in that order in between — not necessarily side by side.

Near misses
  • dabble doesn't fit: it starts with D but ends with E, not S.
  • daddies doesn't fit: it has the right ends but no R in the middle.
