This pattern includes familiar nouns such as PERSON, SEASON, REASON, and NATION. Only 65 entries count as common, though, so the pool quickly reaches beyond everyday vocabulary. The final ON is fixed; the O in fifth position leaves four earlier letters to separate one candidate from another.

The pattern at a glance

  • 277 dictionary-listed words fit the exact six-letter pattern.
  • PERSON, SEASON, REASON, and NATION are familiar examples.
  • 65 matches are classed as common.
  • P leads the opening-letter groups with 29 words, ahead of C with 26.
  • AMAZON and ZIRCON each score 17.

How many six-letter matches end in ON?

There are 277 six-letter words with O fifth and N last across tournament dictionaries. The opening letter varies widely: P leads with 29 matches, followed by C with 26 and T with 23. PERSON and POISON show how different the first four letters can be before the same final ON.

Compare nearby endings rather than assuming ON is rare. The O-fifth pattern ending in S has 352 matches, while endings in R and T have 106 and 86. The N-ending group is narrower than the S-ending group, but it is still a broad set of possibilities.

Recognizable words and scoring limits

Several familiar words sit alongside high-value plays. AMAZON and ZIRCON each score 17, as do KLAXON and BLAZON; the Z lifts these above the 9.1-point average. PYTHON scores 14, a solid contrast when you want a word without relying on the top score.

For 6-letter words with O as the 5th letter and N as the 6th letter, dictionary coverage varies: ENABLE lists 201, Collins 272, and NWL2023 216, compared with 277 overall. Some words will not transfer across every game's accepted list, so check your game's dictionary before committing.

Questions people ask

Which common six-letter words have O fifth and N last?
PERSON, SEASON, REASON, NATION, and OPTION are familiar matches for this pattern. The full group has 277 words, but only 65 are classed as common, so less familiar entries make up much of the remaining pool.
What is the highest-scoring word in this pattern?
AMAZON, ZIRCON, KLAXON, and BLAZON each score 17. Their Z is the key scoring feature; the pattern’s average score is 9.1, so these words stand well above the typical match.
Are all 277 matches accepted in every word game?
No. ENABLE includes 201 matches, Collins includes 272, and NWL2023 includes 216, while the combined tournament-dictionary count is 277. A word accepted in one game's dictionary may not appear in another, so check the list your game uses.
