So your D word could have worked from that standpoint, just that three of the six were different. Hope the OP words with repeated letters don't make for too much confusion.

OK, we're going to the next level.
Seven-letter words, no plurals, repeated letters or proper names.
Except:
- The Z-word is plural.
- The D-word, the K-word and the M-word each have one repeated letter.
To get you started, the X-word is listed in the spoiler.For one of them, the repeated letter is the initial letter.
It is obscure, the only one I could find that fits the letter pattern for this puzzle.
Read about the letter pattern in the spoiler.
