Lock in O in position two and I in position four, and you still have plenty of choices for a six-letter puzzle. SOCIAL, POLICE, COMING, and NOTICE are familiar examples. The pattern spans many opening and ending letters, but it has no Wordle answers; for other word games, dictionary coverage depends on the list your game uses.

The pattern at a glance

  • There are 427 tournament-dictionary matches for this six-letter pattern.
  • SOCIAL, COMING, POLICE, and NOTICE are recognizable examples.
  • C leads with 59 matches, ahead of M with 38.
  • G is the most common final letter, with 111 words; S follows with 92.
  • COZILY and JOKILY score 20 points each in Scrabble.

Which letters complete the pattern most often?

C is the strongest opening choice: its 59 matches include COMING, COPIES, and COMICS. M comes next with 38, represented by MOBILE, MOVING, and MOTION. That spread gives you several everyday candidates before you turn to rarer vocabulary.

The ending is even more concentrated. G closes 111 matches, including COMING, MOVING, and LOSING; S closes 92, as in BODIES and COPIES. If your final letter is still unknown, test G and S before less frequent endings such as M or H.

How do 6-letter words with O as the 2nd letter and I as the 4th letter score?

The standout Scrabble scores come from premium letters: COZILY and JOKILY each score 20, while DOZILY and FOXILY score 19. JOKING reaches 18. These are strong rack options, but the high totals come from J, Z, or X, not from the pattern itself.

The 427-word total combines tournament dictionaries, and their coverage differs: Collins has 413 matches, compared with 323 in NWL2023. SOCIAL and POLICE are familiar, but many matches are less common. Check your game's word list before relying on an unfamiliar entry.
