The fixed pattern is _ _ _ O _ S: O sits in slot four and S closes the word. Familiar matches include across, famous, actors, and pilots; kazoos and oxbows show how unusual letter combinations still fit. These matches range from everyday plurals and verbs to specialized vocabulary, so familiar examples make the pattern easier to scan.

6-letter words with O as the 4th letter and S as the 6th letter

517 entries match the fixed O-fourth, S-final pattern.
50 matches rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency.
Definitions are available for 436 of the matches.
S starts 76 matches, while A and B start 40 each.
The average score is 9.4; KAZOOS leads the high scorers at 19.
OXBOWS, VIZORS, and WAZOOS each score 18.

Which starting letters appear most often?

S is the leading first letter, with 76 matches. A and B tie at 40 each, while C and P have 36 apiece. Examples such as shoots, shows, and shoots-like patterns aren't needed to spot the main skew: the S-starting group is nearly twice the size of either A or B.

That distribution is a useful filter when you have more than one blank tile: try S first, then A or B. Across, actors, and arrows show how different beginnings can share the same O-fourth, S-final frame. The pattern is also selective at the other end: all 517 matches finish in S by definition.

Which matching words score well?

KAZOOS scores 19, the highest value among the examples, with OXBOWS, VIZORS, and WAZOOS at 18. ENJOYS and JOYOUS score 16. These are strong board-scoring candidates when the letters and placement work, but many are less familiar than words such as famous, colors, or honors.

Dictionary coverage differs: 505 matches appear in Collins, 398 in NWL2023, and 363 in ENABLE. Those totals overlap, so don't add them as separate groups. The overall count includes words found in at least one tournament dictionary; check your game's word list before building a play around a less familiar entry.

Questions people ask

What are some common six-letter words with O fourth and S last?

Across, famous, actors, pilots, colors, and honors are familiar examples. The frequency count is 50, so most of the 517 matches are not among the most common English words. Start with recognizable words when solving, then use the full pattern to test less familiar options.

Which O-fourth, S-final word has the highest score?

KAZOOS scores 19 points, the highest value among the listed high scorers. OXBOWS, VIZORS, and WAZOOS each score 18. The best play still depends on your rack and board position, since letter placement can matter as much as a word's base score.

Do all 517 matching words appear in every dictionary?

No. Collins includes 505 matches, NWL2023 includes 398, and ENABLE includes 363. The dictionaries overlap, and the overall 517 count includes entries found in at least one tournament list. A word accepted in one game may not be accepted in another, so check the list your game uses.
