Every match has the same final two letters: OR. The set ranges from everyday words such as FACTOR and EDITOR to less familiar entries such as RIZZOR. Thirty-three are classed as common, so the pattern is more approachable than its tournament-dictionary total might suggest. All 106 appear in at least one of Collins, NWL2023, or ENABLE.

The pattern at a glance

  • There are 106 matches, and every one ends in OR.
  • AUTHOR, SENIOR, DOCTOR, FACTOR, and SECTOR are recognizable examples.
  • Thirty-three matches are classed as common.
  • S leads the first-letter group with 18 words; C follows with 13.
  • RIZZOR tops the scoring examples at 24 points.

Which words fit O fifth and R sixth?

AUTHOR, SENIOR, DOCTOR, EDITOR, JUNIOR, and MIRROR show how often this ending appears in familiar nouns. Other recognizable fits include HARBOR, PASTOR, SAILOR, and SENSOR. These examples make a practical first pass when you know the final two letters but not the opening four.

The first letter offers another clue: 18 matches start with S, compared with 13 beginning with C and 11 with F. That makes S the most productive opening in this set, while the three leading groups account for 42 words altogether. FACTOR and SECTOR are two C examples; FLAVOR starts with F.

Scoring 6-letter words with O as the 5th letter and R as the 6th

RIZZOR scores 24 points in the scoring data, ahead of MAHZOR at 20 and HUZOOR at 18. FLEXOR reaches 16, while LIQUOR scores 15. The contrast is striking: RIZZOR leads on points, but AUTHOR and SENIOR are much more familiar options.

Dictionary coverage is not identical: Collins includes 105 matches, NWL2023 has 85, and ENABLE has 84. Since the overall count includes words accepted by at least one tournament list, no single dictionary contains all 106. Check your game's word list before relying on a less familiar entry; 89 matches have definitions.
