Locking O into the second spot and N into the fifth narrows a six-letter search to a distinctive pattern: _O__N_. The 277 matches include everyday verbs such as losing, hoping, and voting, alongside less familiar entries. Only 36 fall among the most common English words, so the first recognizable match may not be the only playable one.

The pattern at a glance

  • The fixed pattern is _O__N_, with O second and N fifth.
  • There are 277 matches across the tournament dictionaries.
  • A total of 115 matches end in G, the leading final letter.
  • S is the next common ending, appearing in 76 matches.
  • Coming, moment, moving, and losing are familiar examples.

How common is this letter pattern?

The 277 matches put O second ahead of I, which has 181 words with N fifth, but behind A at 321 and E at 241. Keep the comparison in perspective: changing just one fixed letter can shift the size of a pattern sharply.

The final letter is even more lopsided. G and S account for 191 of the 277 matches, about 69 percent. If a crossing clue leaves the last square open, test those endings first; they cover most of this group without ruling out the less common endings.

Which matches score the most?

JOHNNY leads the high-scoring examples at 19 points. JOKING, COZING, and MOZING each score 18, while DOZING, COZENS, FOXING, JOYING, JOWING, and HOXING score 17. These are score standouts, not necessarily the easiest words to remember.

For a practical starting point, try familiar matches such as coming, moment, or tokens before reaching for an obscure high scorer. The list has 277 tournament-dictionary matches, but only 36 are among the most common English words. Check your game's word list before playing a rare entry; dictionary coverage differs.
