The pattern is _ _ O O _, so blood, floor, and shoot fit immediately. Collins lists all 78 matches, while NWL2023 includes 55 and ENABLE includes 53. Only 24 rank among the commonest English words, which makes this a clue where familiar examples are a small but practical starting group.

At a glance: the double-O pattern

  • All 78 matches qualify in Collins; NWL2023 includes 55, and ENABLE includes 53.
  • Only 24 are among the commonest English words.
  • S leads the first position with 33 words, ahead of B at 9 and C at 8.
  • P is the leading final letter with 12; T has 11 and K has 10.
  • Average score is 8.5; CHOOK, WHOOF, and TROOZ reach 14.

How many five-letter words have OO in the middle?

Just 24 matches count among the commonest English words, so start with blood, floor, shoot, proof, stood, flood, and shook. These familiar examples give you a foothold before ebook, crook, and spoof broaden the search.

S supplies 33 of the 78 matches, while B and C supply 9 and 8. For the pattern _ _ O O _, test an S opener early; the initials are far from evenly spread.

The last letter favors P, T, and K: together they close 33 words. F and D account for another 13, so keep a broader ending in reserve if the obvious P, T, and K candidates fail.

How to solve the double-O pattern

Lock the O pair, then work the outer tiles. Blood, floor, and shoot are familiar examples, while spoon and troop show how a changed first letter can preserve the same middle.

Scrabble scoring points to chook, whoof, and trooz at 14 each, with whoop at 13. Some strong scores belong to less familiar words, and acceptance differs: Collins has 78 matches, against 55 in NWL2023. Check your game's dictionary before playing an unfamiliar entry.

Wordle has 31 matching answers, but a pattern match alone does not tell you which solution fits your board. Use green O tiles to pin positions three and four, then compare the remaining feedback with likely forms such as blood or floor. Only 24 entries are among the commonest English words, so everyday vocabulary covers a small share of the possibilities.

Are all 78 words accepted in North American word games?
