Think of the pattern as _O_E__: the first, third, fifth, and sixth letters remain open. That leaves plenty of familiar choices, but the list also includes less everyday entries. Only 39 of the 282 words fall among the top 25,000 English words by frequency.

The pattern at a glance

  • There are 282 tournament-dictionary words matching _O_E__.
  • C begins the most matches: 43 words start with that letter.
  • A total of 171 words end in S, making S the standout final letter.
  • COZEYS scores 20 points; JOSEPH and KOPECK each score 18.

Which words are easiest to recognize?

Start with everyday-looking options such as MOMENT, MODERN, LOVELY, HONEST, FOREST, and COMEDY. These examples show how flexible the pattern is: the first letter can be C, F, L, M, or several others, while O and E hold their fixed positions.

The opening C is the strongest single starting letter, with 43 matches; M follows with 25. That makes a C-start a sensible early test when the clue gives no other position. Still, the remaining letters matter: COVERS, COZENS, and COMEDY all fit, but each completes the pattern differently.

6-letter words with O second and E fourth: endings and scores

The final S dominates: 171 matches end that way, including MODELS, POWERS, VOTERS, LOVERS, and TOWERS. Many familiar candidates are plural nouns, so check whether the clue calls for a singular form before settling on an S ending. Other endings are much less common.

For a rack or board game, COZEYS leads the high-score examples at 20 points. JOSEPH and KOPECK score 18, while DOZENS scores 16. Those are letter-value totals before any board premiums; a premium square can change the play's final score.
