The pattern is _A___O_: A sits in the second spot and O in the sixth, leaving five positions open. Familiar matches include FASHION, PASSION, RAINBOW, CARTOON and CAUTION, but the set also includes less familiar entries. Use the fixed letters to narrow a word-game search, then check your game's dictionary before playing an unfamiliar match.

7-letter words with A as the 2nd letter and O as the 6th letter

  • Exactly 250 tournament-dictionary words fit the A-second, O-sixth pattern.
  • FASHION, PASSION, RAINBOW, CARTOON and CAUTION are recognizable matches.
  • C leads the first-letter counts with 38 words; M follows with 30 and B with 26.
  • N is the most common final letter at 65, ahead of S at 57 and T at 24.

How do dictionary counts compare?

Coverage depends on the word list: 164 matches appear in ENABLE, 242 in Collins and 187 in NWL2023. Those totals overlap, so they are not separate batches to combine. A word accepted in Collins may fail under NWL2023 or ENABLE, making your game's chosen lexicon matter.

Familiarity is another filter: 27 of these words rank as common by frequency, while 199 have definitions. FASHION, PASSION and RAINBOW are easy anchors; MACHZOR shows why a less familiar match deserves a dictionary check before you play it.

Which matches score well and narrow a search?

JAZZBOS tops the scoring list at 34 points, well ahead of MACHZOR at 23. JACKPOT and CAKEBOX each score 22, while CASHBOX reaches 21. Save a high-value J or Z for a premium square when the board permits; the listed total does not guarantee that board score.

JACKPOT connects the pattern to the scoring advice: it is a recognizable match worth 22 points. When searching a rack, lock in the _A___O_ skeleton first, then test likely endings. N appears 65 times and S 57, far more often than X at 9, so those two endings offer more candidates to check.

The 7-letter words with A as the 2nd letter and O as the 6th letter range from everyday terms such as CARTOON to specialist entries. Ending counts can guide your search, but they do not establish that a candidate is accepted by every game dictionary.
