6-letter words with B as the 5th letter and O as the 6th letter

This fixed ending gives you a compact set: the fifth tile is B, and the last is O. GAZEBO and BONOBO are among the more recognizable entries, while words such as MIOMBO and PEEPBO are much less familiar. Every match ends in O, but the letters at the start vary, with G appearing most often.

At a glance: the B-O ending

• There are 12 six-letter matches for B in position five and O in position six.
• All 12 end in O; none has a different final letter.
• GAZEBO, GREEBO, and GAZABO account for the three G-starting entries.
• JAZZBO scores 33 points, well ahead of the next-highest scores.
• No match falls within the top 25,000 English words by frequency.

Which six-letter B-and-O words score highest?

JAZZBO leads at 33 points in Scrabble, powered by its two Z tiles and J. GAZEBO and GAZABO each score 18, while AKIMBO reaches 14. That gap matters: if you have the right rack, JAZZBO is an exceptional scoring play, but it is not a word to assume every opponent will recognize.

MIOMBO, CRAMBO, and PEEPBO each score 12; LAVABO scores 11. BONOBO and NOCEBO bring up the lower end at 10 apiece. The average score across the set is 13.9, so JAZZBO sits far above the typical result.

Are any of these words common?

None is among the commonest 25,000 English words, so most entries are specialist or uncommon vocabulary. GAZEBO and BONOBO are recognizable, but treat this pattern as a word-game lookup, not a reliable route to a familiar answer.

Dictionary coverage differs: 6 entries appear in ENABLE, while 10 appear in Collins and 10 in NWL2023. The tournament lists therefore do not all accept the same words. Before playing an unusual option such as PEEPBO or GREEBO, check your game's word list.
