An O in the second slot leaves plenty of familiar choices: MORE, SOME, GOOD, WORK, LOVE, HOME, and LOOK all fit. The full set has 1,024 tournament-dictionary entries, but common words account for 341. It also spans ordinary plays and Scrabble-heavy oddities such as COZY and QOPH.

What stands out in the O-second-letter set?

  • There are 1,024 four-letter entries with O in position two.
  • MORE, SOME, GOOD, WORK, and LOVE are familiar examples.
  • S is the most common final letter, appearing in 206 entries.
  • C leads the first-letter group with 87 words; M follows with 83.
  • Collins includes 1,007 entries, compared with 762 in NWL2023 and 703 in ENABLE.

Which letters most often frame the O?

S is the strongest ending by a wide margin: 206 words finish with S. E comes next at 123, while T appears at the end of 80. When the final letter is unknown, test S and E before less common endings such as N, which closes 51 entries.

C is the most productive opening letter, with 87 matches; MORE and MOST show how M contributes 83. D supplies 82, including DOWN, DOES, DONE, and FOOD. These counts describe first letters across the whole set, so they are a better clue than guessing from one familiar word.

Can 4-letter words with O as the 2nd letter score well?

Yes. COZY and QOPH each score 18 points in Scrabble, well above the 7.6 average for this group. Everyday entries such as HOME and BOOK are easier to spot, but a short, unusual word can make a much stronger play when your rack and board allow it.

The 1,024-entry total combines words from several tournament dictionaries, and their coverage differs: Collins has 1,007 matches, while ENABLE has 703. A word accepted in one game may not work in another, so check your game's word list before relying on an unfamiliar entry. Of the full set, 794 have definitions.
