This pattern is unusually narrow: none of its matches falls among the 25,000 most frequent English words, and only six have definitions. The recognizable outlier is EMOJIS; several others, including KHOJAS and CROJIK, are specialist entries. Only 5 of the 11 are in ENABLE.

The O-J pattern at a glance

  • Eleven tournament-dictionary words place O third and J fourth.
  • Six matches end in S; the other five end in H, K, M, T, or Y.
  • P and S are the most common first letters, with three matches each.
  • KHOJAS tops the score ranking at 20 points; CROJIK follows at 19.
  • The average score across the matches is 16.2.

Which words fit O third and J fourth?

The familiar entry is EMOJIS, while PROJET and POOJAS also fit the six-letter pattern. The remaining matches are BOOJUM, RIOJAS, POOJAH, SHOJIS, CROJIK, KHOJAS, SLOJDS, and SOOJEY. All share the fixed middle pair OJ, but their endings vary.

The final S is the clear standout: it appears on six of the 11 matches. That makes an S ending a sensible first check when your puzzle already confirms the middle letters. If S is ruled out, test the less common endings H, K, M, T, and Y instead.

Score leaders among 6-letter words with O third and J fourth

KHOJAS scores 20, CROJIK scores 19, and POOJAH scores 18 in the scoring results. BOOJUM follows at 17; SHOJIS and SOOJEY each score 16. These are strong scoring candidates, but a high score does not make a word familiar.

The entries come from at least one of Collins, NWL2023, or ENABLE; the separate dictionary counts overlap rather than forming separate piles. Only six matches are defined, and none ranks among the commonest English words. For a tricky play, verify the word in your game's dictionary rather than relying on the pattern alone.
