7-letter words with O as the 1st letter and P as the 2nd letter

The fixed OP opening narrows the search to a small set: Collins has 44 matches, while ENABLE and NWL2023 each have 37. Nine entries meet the common-word cutoff, so the pattern includes both everyday choices and less familiar vocabulary. Use the endings and score leaders to sort likely plays from long shots.

At a glance: the OP pattern

• There are 44 seven-letter matches across the tournament dictionaries.
• Collins counts 44; ENABLE and NWL2023 count 37 each.
• Opening, opinion, options, and operate are familiar examples.
• S is the most common final letter, appearing in 14 matches.
• Opaqued leads the score table at 19 points; opaques and opaquer each score 18.

Which 7-letter words starting OP score highest?

Opaqued leads at 19 points, with opaques and opaquer next at 18. Opacify scores 17, while opacity and ophitic score 14. Those less familiar forms stand out beside everyday entries such as opening and options.

For a score-first play, keep the three opa- forms in mind rather than assuming the most familiar word will score most. The exact tournament list matters: Collins has more matches than ENABLE or NWL2023, so a word accepted in one may not transfer to another.

How do 7-letter words starting OP end?

Fourteen matches end in S, making it the clear leader; E follows with five, and D with four. Options, opiates, and opioids show how the S ending can form familiar plural nouns, while opposes offers a verb form.

Only nine of the 44 entries meet the common-word cutoff. That makes the opening more reliable than intuition about the rest of the word: after placing OP, check the remaining letters instead of expecting every match to look familiar.

A strong clue is the final letter. If your rack or crossing points toward S, test options or opposes; if it points elsewhere, opening, opinion, and operate give you more recognizable alternatives.
