6-letter words with O as the 3rd letter and N as the 6th letter

With positions fixed, the search shape is __O__N: two unknown letters before O, then two more before final N. BROKEN, CHOSEN, SPOKEN, STOLEN, and PROVEN show how often this pattern catches familiar past participles. The full group is broader, though: VIOLIN, SLOGAN, and PROTON fit too. That mix makes the pattern useful for both a known-letter clue and a tight rack.

How many 6-letter words with O as 3rd and N as 6th letter?

• The pattern has 67 matches, and every one ends in N.
• S is the most common first letter, with 10 matches.
• P starts 7 words; C starts 6.
• Only 13 matches are classed as common.
• FROZEN leads the score list at 18 points.

Which starting letters lead this pattern?

S begins 10 matches, ahead of P with 7 and C with 6. That makes S the strongest first-letter checkpoint, but it does not solve the whole pattern: BROKEN, FROZEN, and STOLEN all start with different letters.

For a clue, fill the fixed O and final N first, then test familiar forms such as CHOSEN, SPOKEN, and PROVEN. VIOLIN is a useful reminder that the pattern is not limited to past participles; SLOGAN and PROTON fit as well.

Dictionary coverage varies. Collins has 67 matches, compared with 54 in NWL2023 and 50 in ENABLE. Check your game's word list before playing an unfamiliar entry; everyday choices such as BROKEN and WOODEN are safer bets than obscure forms.

Which 6-letter words with O as 3rd and N as 6th letter score most?

FROZEN scores 18 points, the highest total in this group. AJOWAN follows at 16, while DIOXIN and KYOGEN each score 14. Those less familiar options can matter when the board rewards a high-value letter, but FROZEN is the standout word most players will recognize.

The 6-letter words with O as 3rd and N as 6th letter average 9.7 points. That average sits well below FROZEN's total, so do not judge a candidate by its pattern alone: check its letters and the board squares before committing. For ordinary play, BROKEN, CHOSEN, and STOLEN make easier candidates to recall.
