5-letter words with E as the 2nd letter and O as the 4th letter

The pattern is _E_O_: the first and final letters are still open, but E and O are fixed in place. BELOW, LEMON, and DEPOT show how different the remaining letters can look. Only 15 entries meet the common-word frequency cutoff, so expect a mix of familiar guesses and less everyday tournament vocabulary.

• There are 88 matches across the tournament dictionaries.
• D begins the most words, with 14; R follows with 13.
• S ends 25 words, while N is the last letter in 19.
• Only 15 matches fall within the common-word frequency group.
• The list includes 12 Wordle answers and 87 allowed guesses.

Which Wordle guesses fit the _E_O_ pattern?

Twelve words matching _E_O_ are Wordle answers, and 87 are allowed guesses. Those counts are different: a word accepted as a guess is not necessarily in the answer set. Treat the pattern as a narrowing clue, not proof that every matching entry could be the solution.

Try familiar candidates such as LEMON, DEMON, DEPOT, and BELOW to test the remaining letters. They vary the first and last positions while preserving E second and O fourth. The 15 common entries are a practical place to start; the full set includes many less familiar options.

What earns the top Scrabble score?

XEROX is the top scorer at 19 points. ZEROS follows at 14, while DETOX and REDOX each score 13. If your rack has an X, XEROX is the standout fit; the less obvious spelling can be easy to miss when you focus only on common words.

Dictionary coverage varies: 68 entries appear in ENABLE, 86 in Collins, and 72 in NWL2023, with overlap between those groups. Most matches are outside the common-word cutoff, so do not assume every candidate is accepted in your game. Check its word list once before playing.

These 5-letter words with E as the 2nd letter and O as the 4th letter also have a clear ending pattern: S and N account for most final letters.
