7-letter words with F as the 1st letter and O as the 4th letter

The pattern locks F into the opening slot and O into the fourth, leaving five letters to narrow down. FLOODED and FAVORED are familiar examples; the top scorer, FLOOZIE, is much less everyday. Collins accepts 26 matches, while ENABLE and NWL2023 each accept 22. That gap matters in tournament play, where a word’s acceptance depends on the dictionary your game uses.

At a glance: the F–O pattern

• Collins contains 26 matches; ENABLE and NWL2023 each contain 22.
• Only 3 matches rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency.
• FLOOZIE and FLYOFFS tie for the highest tile score at 19 points.
• FLOODED scores 12, while FAVORED scores 14.
• Seven matches end in S; D and R each finish five.

Which matches score highest?

FLOOZIE and FLYOFFS share the top score, 19 points apiece. FLYOVER follows at 16, then FAVORED at 14. Those are tile totals, not guaranteed board scores: premium squares and the placement of other tiles change what a play earns.

For a more familiar entry, FLOODED scores 12 and FAVOURS scores 13. The contrast is striking: just 3 of these words are common by frequency, so a high-scoring match is often less recognizable than the lower-scoring alternatives. Check spelling carefully before spending a turn on an obscure play.

The endings give you another way to sort the matches: 7 end in S, while 5 each end in D or R. That makes FLOODS-style endings a strong first scan when your final tile is S. FLOODED fits the D group; FLOOZIE ends in E, one of 3 matches with that ending.

A useful wrinkle: 20 matches have definitions, but that does not make every entry familiar or accepted in every game. FLOOZIE, FLYOFFS, and FLUORIC illustrate how varied the vocabulary can be. Check your game’s word list before relying on a rare form.
