With 250 matches, the _LO____ frame opens into a much larger vocabulary than the other patterns in this batch. CLOTHES, FLOWERS, CLOSELY, and CLOSING are easy entry points, while less familiar choices push the scoring ceiling much higher. Twenty-seven qualify as common by frequency.

At a glance on this pattern

  • 250 tournament-dictionary matches fit the fixed positions.
  • 27 qualify among the top 25,000 English words by frequency.
  • ZLOTYCH scores 24 points, the group's top base value.
  • At 250 matches, this is the broadest set here, with a 24-point ceiling from ZLOTYCH.

7-letter words with L second and O third

ZLOTYCH scores 24 points, the top base value, followed by BLOWZED at 22 and BLOWZES at 21. Those unusual spellings reward Z, while everyday FLOWERS and CLOTHES are easier to spot on a rack. The best practical choice depends on connecting tiles and board squares, not score alone.

D ends 62 matches and S ends 57, with R next at 37. BLOCKED and FLOODED show the D group; FLOWERS and CLOTHES demonstrate S. Because the leading endings are close, keep both D and S options in view instead of treating one as the default.

What should you know before playing?

Tip

Anchor the known tiles first, then compare the remaining letters with the exact spelling of the candidate.
