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

Only 21 tournament-dictionary entries fit this seven-letter pattern, and none falls among the top 25,000 English words by frequency. The starting letters cluster sharply: 12 begin with S, including SCISSOR and SCALLOP, while OCTAGON and OCTANOL show the O-starting route. Expect a mix of recognizable words and specialist entries.

A small, S-heavy group at a glance

• Exactly 21 entries qualify across the tournament dictionaries.
• Collins includes 21; ENABLE and NWL2023 include 14 each.
• Twelve words begin with S, compared with four beginning with O.
• SCHMOOZ tops the scoring examples at 23 points.

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

The pattern produces 21 matches, well short of the 250 entries with A second and O sixth or the 176 with E second and O sixth. C in the second slot makes this a tight search rather than a roomy set of options.

Five entries end in N, and another five end in S. SCISSOR, SCALLOP, and SCOLION show the S-heavy opening; ECHELON and OCTAGON break up that run. Seventeen entries have definitions, leaving four without one in the available word records.

Which entries score highest?

SCHMOOZ heads the scoring examples at 23 points. The unusual Z-heavy options stand out when tile points are the goal.

Dictionary coverage is the catch: Collins has all 21 matches, but ENABLE and NWL2023 each accept 14. None ranks among the top 25,000 English words by frequency, so don't assume a rare-looking match will work in every game. Check your game's word list before playing one.
