6-letter words with O as the 2nd letter and F as the 5th letter

MODIFY, NOTIFY and CODIFY are the clearest everyday options. MOTIFS and LOGOFF are recognizable too, but many other matches are specialist or uncommon forms. Sixteen entries have definitions, so an unfamiliar-looking result is not automatically a typo.

The final letter offers a quick way to sort candidates. S is the most frequent ending, with 9 matches; Y follows with 5. Three end in E and two end in F.

When a crossing letter is available, check the last tile before trying a less familiar middle combination.
