5-letter words with O as the 4th letter and Y as the 5th letter

The fixed ending makes this a compact pattern: every match finishes in OY, and only four entries are classed as common. The first letters are split across seven choices, led by A and S with three words apiece. Tournament-dictionary coverage differs too: Collins accepts all 14, while NWL2023 includes 11 and ENABLE includes 10.

5-letter words with O as the 4th letter and Y as the 5th letter

• The pattern contains 14 tournament-dictionary words, and every match ends in OY.
• ENJOY is the highest-scoring entry at 15 Scrabble points.

• A and S lead the opening-letter count with three matches each.
• Four entries are common; six matches also appear in the Wordle answer list.

Which OY words fit Wordle?

Six of these words are Wordle answers, while all 14 are allowed guesses. That makes the pattern a narrow answer clue but a broader guess option. With O and Y fixed, spend your next guess testing the first three positions rather than repeating either known letter.

The familiar choices include ENJOY, ALLOY, ENVOY, and ANNOY. The rest are less common, so a plausible-looking spelling is not enough: the game’s accepted-word list can differ. Collins has 14 matches, compared with 11 in NWL2023 and 10 in ENABLE.

How should you choose among the matches?

For Scrabble, ENJOY leads at 15 points, three ahead of the 12-point ACCOY and POBOY. ENVOY, SAVOY, and DECOY each score 11. These are base word scores; a premium square can change the final turn total.

For a clue-solving game, start with a familiar candidate such as ENJOY or ALLOY before reaching for a rarer entry. Only four of the 14 words are common, so uncommon options deserve a quick dictionary check. The unusual constraint is the ending: OY is fixed, leaving the first three letters to distinguish every candidate.
