6-letter words with O as the 2nd letter and O as the 4th letter

The pattern is _ O _ O _ _: the second and fourth tiles are fixed, while the other four can vary. Only 15 of the 131 entries rank among the most common English words, so expect a mix of everyday vocabulary and less familiar game words. C is the leading first letter, and S is the leading final letter.

At a glance: the O _ O pattern

• There are 131 six-letter matches with O in both specified positions.
• C starts 29 words, more than any other first letter.
• S ends 49 words, nearly twice as many as the next ending, E, with 17.
• Only 15 entries are among the most common English words.
• JOJOBA leads the scoring list at 22 points.

Which words fit O in the second and fourth spots?

COHORT, COLONY, COCOON and COLOUR show how varied the opening can be while the two O tiles stay fixed. NOBODY, ROBOTS, MOTORS and HONOUR also match. These examples make the pattern easier to scan: keep the O tiles in place, then test the remaining letters against your rack or clue.

The final letter narrows the choices sharply. S closes 49 matches, while E closes 17 and Y closes 12. That makes plural-looking forms such as COLORS, HONORS and MOTORS a strong place to check when your last tile is S; for Y, consider JOYOUS or POROUS only if your other letters fit.

How do 6-letter words with O in positions 2 and 4 score?

JOJOBA scores 22, the highest listed total, and POZOLE and COROZO each score 17. JOYOUS reaches 16. Those scores come from valuable letters, not from the repeated O alone, so weigh a high-scoring play against the board squares and the letters it leaves you.

The 131-word total combines overlapping tournament lists: Collins includes 127 matches, NWL2023 includes 100 and ENABLE includes 83. These figures are dictionary-specific, not separate piles to add together. Most entries are not common everyday words, so check your game's word list before relying on an unfamiliar play.
