The CO opening reaches from everyday words such as company and country to less familiar high scorers such as cozying. This pattern has more entries than the seven-letter B-O group, but only a fraction are common by our frequency measure. Use the examples and ending-letter counts to narrow a rack or solve a fixed-position clue.

At a glance: the seven-letter CO pattern

  • There are 776 matches with C first and O second.
  • Company, country, control, college and council are familiar starting points.
  • Only 122 matches count as common by our frequency measure.
  • S is the most frequent final letter, appearing on 262 matches; E follows with 116.
  • Collins includes 759 matches, compared with 572 in ENABLE and 610 in NWL2023.

How does this pattern compare with other C-O words?

The 776 seven-letter matches make C-O a broad opening, not a narrow word-game corner. The closest same-length comparison is C-A, with 643 entries; C-H has 480. C-O also outnumbers the B-O pattern, which has 401 seven-letter matches.

The familiar examples are only part of the picture. Company, country and control are common choices, while 633 entries have definitions in the dictionary resources. Check your game's word list before relying on an unfamiliar entry: coverage varies across Collins, ENABLE and NWL2023.

7-letter words with C as the 1st letter and O as the 2nd letter

For a fixed-letter puzzle, check the final position early: S is far ahead of the next ending, E. Other recorded endings include T, D and R, so a known last letter can trim the search quickly. Try familiar candidates such as comment, contact, concept and concert before testing rarer forms.

The highest listed Scrabble scores reward unusual letter combinations. Cozying and coxcomb each score 22, while complex scores 20. That is a useful counter to the instinct to play only familiar words: common choices like company are easy to spot, but they do not lead the scoring group.

Treat the score list as a prompt to check your rack and board, not as a guarantee of the best move. A premium square changes a play's value, and the 122 common entries show why a pattern list alone cannot tell you which word will fit your game.
