6-letter words with O as the 4th letter and C as the 5th letter

The fixed pattern is ___ O C ___, so the final letter does much of the sorting: 17 entries end in K. Collins lists all 34 matches, while ENABLE includes 21 and NWL2023 includes 22. Only one qualifies as common by the frequency cutoff, making this a narrow pattern rather than a vocabulary-rich set.

How many 6-letter words have O fourth and C fifth?

• The pattern is ___ O C ___, with three open letters before O and one after C.
• K is the final letter in 17 matches; S ends 7 and H ends 6.
• Pajock leads the scoring table at 21; shmock and yapock tie at 17.
• Collins lists 34, against 21 in ENABLE and 22 in NWL2023.

Which endings narrow the pattern fastest?

Begin by testing K in the final slot: 17 of 34 matches end there, exactly half the set. That is a stronger narrowing clue than S or H, which close 7 and 6 words respectively.

The other 17 split into seven S endings, six H endings, and four singletons ending E, O, T, or Y. That distribution corrects the instinct that the fixed C must sit near the end of most candidates: the K ending dominates. Keep uncommon forms in mind, since only one word meets the common-frequency threshold.

Which matches stand out for scoring?

Pajock scores 21, the top entry in the scoring data; shmock and yapock follow at 17 apiece. Mocock and bemock score 16, while shlock and klooch reach 15. These standouts come with a catch: high points here often belong to unusual vocabulary, not a word you can confidently play without checking its game list.

Of 34 matches, 25 have definitions, separating a playable spelling from a word you know well. Collins contains all 34, while ENABLE has 21 and NWL2023 has 22; confirm the dictionary your game uses before committing to an obscure scorer. For contrast, N in the fourth slot with C fifth yields 76 matches, more than twice this O-fourth pattern.
