The clue fixes two of seven positions: O opens every answer, and K sits sixth, leaving four letters to vary. Only 12 words fit. None ranks among the top 25,000 English words by wordfreq frequency, so familiar-looking OUTTAKE sits beside much rarer vocabulary.

At a glance: O _ _ _ _ K _

  • Exactly 12 tournament-dictionary words match O _ _ _ _ K _.
  • Collins includes all 12; NWL2023 includes 10.
  • ENABLE includes 9 of the matches.
  • Eight end in E, three in S, and one in A.
  • ODZOOKS leads the scores at 21 points.

Which endings dominate 7-letter words with O first and K sixth?

Eight of the 12 answers end in E. OUTTAKE, OFFTAKE, and OATCAKE show that common shape clearly: each keeps K in sixth place and uses E as the final tile. Three end in S, including ODZOOKS and OOMIAKS; OSTRAKA is the lone answer ending in A.

The narrow total stands out beside neighboring patterns: 7-letter words with P first and K sixth number 36, three times this set. The fixed K therefore does not explain the small count by itself; the opening O is the tighter constraint. If another letter is uncertain, compare the O-first pattern with K in a different position.

How should you play 7-letter words with O first and K sixth?

ODZOOKS is the scoring standout at 21 points, ahead of OFFTAKE at 17 and OAKLIKE at 15. When your rack holds a Z, keep ODZOOKS in mind, but check the board before committing: a premium square under a high-value tile can change the payoff.

Eleven of the 12 words have definitions available, but none falls among the most frequent English entries. Recognition is a poor test of tournament validity here. Collins lists all 12, compared with 10 in NWL2023 and 9 in ENABLE, so check your game's word list before playing an unfamiliar form.

For 7-letter words with O first and K sixth, sorting by the final tile is a quick solving shortcut: test E first, then S, and leave A as the single less common ending. That narrows the search without changing either fixed letter.

Questions people ask

Are all 12 words accepted in every tournament dictionary?
No, the 12 matches are not accepted uniformly across the three tournament lists. Collins includes all 12, NWL2023 includes 10, and ENABLE includes 9. Check the word list used by your game before playing a less familiar form; the O-and-K pattern alone does not guarantee acceptance everywhere.
Which O-first, K-sixth word scores the most?
ODZOOKS is the top scorer at 21 points. OFFTAKE follows at 17, while OAKLIKE scores 15. Those are listed word scores; the points you earn on a board depend on tile placement and any premium squares.
How many of these words end in E?
Eight of the 12 words end in E, making it the dominant final letter for this pattern. Three end in S, and one ends in A. OUTTAKE, OFFTAKE, and OATCAKE are examples of the E-ending group.
