Both fixed positions are O, so every match ends in O and has another O one slot earlier. The set contains 25 tournament-dictionary entries, but none falls within the top 25,000 English words by frequency. That makes familiar anchors such as KIMONO and ARROYO easier to spot than the less familiar tail.

At a glance: the repeated-O pattern

  • Exactly 25 six-letter entries put O in both the fourth and sixth slots.
  • ARROYO, KIMONO, and ROCOCO are familiar examples among the pattern matches.
  • Zufolo tops the scoring table at 18 points; REBOZO and COROZO each score 17.
  • All 25 appear in Collins, while 10 appear in NWL2023 and 8 in ENABLE; dictionary counts overlap.

Which matches score highest in Scrabble?

Zufolo is the top scorer at 18 points; Rebozo and Corozo follow at 17 each. Pakoko scores 16, while Peroxo and Zeloso each reach 15. Kimono scores 12, a more familiar option but not a scoring leader.

Collins accepts all 25 entries, whereas NWL2023 lists 10 and ENABLE lists 8. Those sets overlap, so adding their totals would overstate the number of distinct playable words. Check your game's dictionary before committing to rarer choices such as ZUFOLO or PAKOKO.

How do you narrow this O-in-both-slots pattern?

Lock in the pattern _ _ _ O _ O first, then test the open letters rather than forcing a familiar ending. The first-letter counts are unusually flat: A, C, M, P, and R each start three matches; B, K, and Z each start two. That makes the first letter a poor shortcut, while the fixed O positions do most of the filtering.

For 6-letter words with O in positions 4 and 6, ARROYO and KIMONO provide recognizable checks, but none ranks among the top 25,000 English words by frequency. Treat those familiar examples as anchors, not evidence that every result is everyday vocabulary. Changing the final O to S yields 517 six-letter matches, a much broader search.

Questions people ask

What is the highest-scoring six-letter word with O in both positions?
Zufolo is the top scorer, at 18 points. Rebozo and Corozo are close behind at 17 each, while Pakoko scores 16. Those less familiar Z words outscore Kimono, which earns 12 points, so recognition alone is a poor guide to Scrabble value.
Are all 25 words accepted in every Scrabble dictionary?
No. Collins lists all 25 matches, while NWL2023 lists 10 and ENABLE lists 8. The dictionary sets overlap, so those counts do not add up to distinct words. Check the word list used by your game before playing an unfamiliar entry such as Pakoko.
Are any of these words common in everyday English?
None ranks among the top 25,000 English words by frequency. Kimono and Arroyo are recognizable examples, but the pattern also includes less familiar words such as Zufolo and Mokoro. Use the familiar entries as starting points, not as a guide to how common the entire set is.
