6-letter words with O as the 3rd letter and P as the 4th letter

Lock the middle of the pattern as OP, then fill the first, second, fifth, and sixth letters: _ _ O P _ _. Collins accepts 71 matches; ENABLE has 55 and NWL2023 has 59. PEOPLE and PROPER are familiar options, while CHOPPY tops the scoring list. Only 13 matches rank as common words, so expect plenty of less familiar entries.

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

• There are 71 six-letter matches, all with the adjacent letters OP in the middle.
• Collins includes 71; NWL2023 includes 59, and ENABLE includes 55.
• CHOPPY leads the scoring list at 18 points; FLOPPY and SHOPPY each score 16.
• The most common first letter is S, with 14 matches.
• Only 13 matches are classified as common.

Which letters start and end these words?

S begins 14 entries, nearly twice as many as T, which starts 8. P starts 7, while C and E each start 6. PEOPLE, PROPER, SLOPPY, and SLOPES show how many recognizable choices begin with those leading letters.

D is the strongest ending, appearing 16 times. S ends 11 words, while R and Y each end 9. That makes forms such as LOOPED, ADOPTS, and TROPIC useful candidates when your final letter is known.

The pattern is relatively selective: O-P has 71 matches, compared with 166 for P-P and 132 for M-P in the same positions. A fixed third letter therefore narrows the search much more when paired with O than with those alternatives.

How to use 6-letter words with O as 3rd and P as 4th

One limitation matters: most matches are not common everyday words, and acceptance varies by game. Collins has all 71, but NWL2023 and ENABLE include fewer. Check your game's word list before relying on an unfamiliar candidate.
