Which N-third, O-sixth words are worth knowing?

Rancho, dynamo, poncho, and bonito show its familiar side. Ginkgo, dinero, bonobo, and menudo also fit. The third and final letters stay fixed; G and M tie for the most starts with 4 matches each.

Jingko tops the tile-score ranking at 18 points, ahead of honcho at 14. Poncho, concho, and finsko each score 13, making them the next group to consider for a high-value play. Those are base word scores; a board bonus changes the points you collect.

N and P each begin 3 entries, so those openings trail the leaders by just one word. Keep all four letters in play until a crossing confirms the first tile; every candidate still needs O in the final square.
