The pattern is _ O _ N _ _, so the first, third, fifth, and sixth letters remain open. Familiar options include SOUNDS, CORNER, and BOUNCE; less everyday entries sit alongside them. Thirty-three matches rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency, so the pattern has a solid core of recognizable choices without being limited to common vocabulary.

At a glance: the O-second, N-fourth pattern

  • There are 152 qualifying six-letter words across the tournament dictionaries.
  • POINTS, COUNTY, SOUNDS, and CORNER are recognizable examples.
  • The final letter is S for 45 words, the largest ending group.
  • JOHNNY scores 19 points, the top listed base score.

What endings and word shapes appear most?

The ending S leads by a clear margin: 45 words finish that way. D is next with 26, followed by E with 18 and R with 17. That makes plural-looking forms such as POUNDS, ROUNDS, COUNTS, and MOUNTS especially easy to spot when the final tile is still unknown.

The pattern also produces several useful everyday shapes. POINTS and JOINTS share the ending, while SOUNDS and WOUNDS differ only at the first letter. BOUNCE and LOUNGE show a different route through the same fixed O and N. These near-neighbours are worth checking before you commit to a rare word.

How can you use the pattern in a word game?

Tip

Keep POINTS, COUNTY, SOUNDS, and CORNER in mind first; check your game's word list before relying on a less familiar play.

Which word in this pattern scores the most?

What is the most common final letter for these words?
