The opening MO narrows a seven-letter rack to 358 tournament-dictionary words, but the group ranges from everyday terms such as MOMENTS and MONSTER to unusual entries. Only 28 rank among the most common English words. Use the fixed first two letters to scan the possibilities, then check the final letters or score to narrow your choice.

What stands out in the M-O pattern

  • There are 358 seven-letter entries beginning MO across the tournament dictionaries.
  • MORNING, MOMENTS, MONTHLY, MONSTER, and MONITOR are recognizable options.
  • A final S is the clear leader: 129 words in this group end with S.
  • The average tile score is 11.5, while MOZZIES and MOZZLES top the scoring list at 27 points.
  • The six-letter M-O pattern has 254 matches, fewer than this seven-letter group.

Which endings narrow the M-O words?

Start with the last tile if your rack or crossing letters give you one. S appears at the end of 129 entries; R is next with 33, followed by G with 30. That makes S a strong first filter, not a guarantee that the resulting word will fit your rack or your game’s dictionary.

Several familiar choices use that common S ending: MOMENTS, MOTHERS, MOTIVES, and MODULES. Other useful shapes include MONITOR ending in R and MOANING ending in G. Those examples give you distinct final-letter routes through the same MO opening without treating every entry as ordinary vocabulary.

Score points, but check the word list

MOZZIES and MOZZLES each score 27 points, far above the group’s 11.5-point average. They are not the familiar words to reach for first: MOHAWKS scores 19, while MOSQUES and MOCKERY each score 18. Those recognizable high scorers offer a more practical starting point when their letters fit.

The 358-word count combines tournament dictionaries: Collins includes 350 entries, compared with 212 in ENABLE and 240 in NWL2023. Check your game’s word list before playing an unfamiliar entry. The five-letter M-O pattern has 163 matches, compared with 254 at six letters.

Questions people ask

How many seven-letter words start with MO?
There are 358 seven-letter words with M in the first position and O in the second across the tournament dictionaries. Familiar examples include MORNING, MOMENTS, and MONSTER. The count covers words accepted by at least one of Collins, ENABLE, or NWL2023, so a particular game may accept fewer.
Which M-O seven-letter words score the most?
MOZZIES and MOZZLES are the top scorers at 27 points each. MOJOUKS and MOMZERS also score 20, while MOHAWKS scores 19. These are tile scores before board bonuses, and your game’s dictionary determines whether an unfamiliar entry is playable.
How many five-letter words have M first and O second?
The five-letter M-O pattern has 163 matches. That is fewer than the 254 six-letter matches and the 358 seven-letter matches. MORNING, MOMENTS, and MONSTER are examples of the longer pattern; check the five-letter list for options that fit a shorter rack.
