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

The pattern is _O_P__, with O locked into slot two and P into slot four. Matches range from common words like gospel and coupon to less familiar entries. Only 15 are among the most common English words, so the fixed letters narrow the field more than familiarity does.

How many 6-letter words have O second and P fourth?

• Exactly 130 tournament-dictionary words fit the _O_P__ pattern.
• Only 15 matches rank among the most common English words; couple and copper are familiar examples.
• C begins 32 matches, twice as many as P, which begins 16.
• D ends 34 words, while R is the next most common final letter with 21.

Which examples are easiest to recognize?

Start with couple, copper, gospel, coupon, hopper, and compel. Each fits the same letter slots, but their endings vary, so check all six positions rather than stopping once O and P line up.

A useful spelling clue is the doubled P in topped, popped, hopped, and copped. In each word, P appears in both the third and fourth positions. Other recognizable choices, such as corpus and corpse, show that the pattern also includes words without a repeated P.

The range is striking: common vocabulary sits beside less familiar entries, and the 15 common matches are a small share of the full set. Treat recognizable examples as starting points, not as a guide to every valid answer.

How do the scores and dictionary lists compare?

Cowpox and joypop each score 20 points, while joypad scores 19. Comply and pom pey each score 15. Those high values come from less everyday words, so a strong score does not mean an entry will feel familiar.

Dictionary coverage differs: Collins includes 127 matches, NWL2023 has 89, and ENABLE has 81. The full set of 6-letter words with O as the 2nd letter and P as the 4th letter draws on words in at least one of those tournament lists; check your game's word list before playing an unfamiliar entry.
