Is there an elegant way to do dictionary searches that match specified kinds of character repetition? For example, to search for six letter words that start with "d" and end with "k", where the third and fourth letter are the same? Finding six letter words that start with "d" and end with "k" is easy -- DictionaryLookup[{"English", RegularExpression["d....k"]}] But how do we restrict the answer to words where the third and fourth letters are the same? Thanks, Michael=
