Every entry begins LO, but the remaining letters lead to very different words: LOOKING and LOCALLY are familiar, while LOZENGY is a less everyday choice. Just 23 of the 245 entries fall among the top 25,000 English words by frequency. That makes this pattern a productive clue, but not every answer will be familiar at the board.

7-letter words with L first and O second

  • There are 245 matching seven-letter words beginning LO.
  • LOOKING, LOCATED, and LONGEST are familiar examples.
  • LOCKJAW leads the scoring list at 23 points.
  • The ending S is most common, appearing in 93 entries.

Which LO words score the most?

LOCKJAW scores 23 points before premium squares, making it the top scorer in this group. Its J and W carry the heavy value; placing either on a letter bonus can raise the play further under standard Scrabble rules.

LOCKBOX follows at 22, then LOZENGY at 20 and LOXYGEN at 18. LOZENGE and LOGJAMS each score 17. The familiar LOCKERS is not in the top scoring group, so a rack with unusual high-value letters changes the scoring picture.

How do these seven-letter LO words vary?

The ending S dominates: 93 words finish that way, compared with 33 ending in G and 23 in R. Words such as LOGJAMS and LOCKERS show how a plural ending can fit the fixed LO opening while changing the final letters.

This group is smaller than the 326 seven-letter words beginning LA, though it still offers more choices than the 137 five-letter words with the same L-O opening. Collins lists 231 entries, versus 191 in NWL2023 and 164 in ENABLE, so dictionary coverage depends on your game.
