6-letter words with R as the 1st letter and O as the 4th letter

The pattern is R _ _ O _ _, so the fourth position stays fixed while the middle pair and ending change. REPORT, RECORD, REMOVE, and REMOTE show how recognizable some entries are; 19 qualify as common by frequency. The tournament-dictionary totals differ: ENABLE lists 99, NWL2023 lists 105, and Collins lists all 116.

6-letter words with R first and O fourth

The open positions create several different word shapes. REPORT and REPOST share the ending pattern O-R-T, while REFORM and REBOOT put different consonants after the fourth-letter O. REMOTE and REVOKE show how an E can finish the word; ROTORS ends in S.

R is a productive first letter for this pattern, but it does not lead the same-position comparison: 176 six-letter words begin with S and have O fourth, compared with 116 beginning with R. For a nearby length, the R-and-O pattern has 28 five-letter matches and 146 seven-letter matches.

What the scores and dictionary counts reveal

REBOZO is the standout score at 17 points. RAZORS, REZONE, and RAZOOS each score 15, while RIPOFF, RECOCK, and RUBOFF score 14. Those high values come from letters such as Z, X, and K; the ordinary-looking REPORT and RECORD are easier to recognize, but they do not top this scoring group.

Dictionary coverage is not identical: ENABLE has 99 matches, NWL2023 has 105, and Collins has 116. So a word accepted in Collins may not appear in a North American game.
