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

The fixed O-K pair leaves the first three letters and final letter open. That still produces a compact set: only 7 entries rank among the 25,000 most common English words, so familiar options sit alongside less common forms. STROKE, BROOKS, and SPOOKY are recognizable starting points when you scan the matches.

At a glance: 6-letter words with O fourth and K fifth

• The pattern has 32 matches across the listed tournament dictionaries.
• STROKE, BROOKS, and SPOOKY are examples that begin with S.
• Seven matches begin with S, more than any other starting letter in the set.
• Thirteen words end in S, while 11 end in E.
• JAMOKE and QUOOKE are the top scorers at 19 points each.

Which letters start and finish these words?

S leads the opening-letter group with 7 matches; P follows with 3. C, D, E, J, M, and R each start 2 words. That makes S a strong first-letter filter if your rack already fits the O-K pair.

The endings cluster around S and E: 13 entries finish with S, and 11 finish with E. BROOKS and CROOKS show the S ending; STROKE, REVOKE, and INVOKE show E. Together, those two endings account for most of the 32 matches.

Which O-K matches score well?

JAMOKE and QUOOKE each score 19 points, the highest values in the group. JUDOKA follows at 18, then KAPOKS, PAKOKO, and YWROKE at 16. SPOOKY scores 15, so a familiar word is not automatically the strongest scoring choice.

Dictionary coverage is not identical: the combined set draws on Collins, NWL2023, and ENABLE, with 30, 22, and 19 matches respectively. Those totals overlap, so they do not add up to the 32-word combined count. Check your game's word list before relying on a less familiar entry such as QUOOKE or YWROKE.
