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

With O fixed at the start and P at the end, the middle five letters do all the work. The set ranges from familiar-looking OVERLAP and OUTCROP to less everyday entries such as OUTKEEP and OVERSUP. Dictionary coverage changes by game: Collins includes all 16, while ENABLE includes 13.

7-letter words with O first and P last: quick facts

• The pattern has 16 tournament-dictionary words, and every one begins with O and ends with P.
• Collins lists 16 matches, NWL2023 lists 14, and ENABLE lists 13.
• Only one entry falls within the top 25,000 English words by frequency.
• OUTJUMP scores 18 points, ahead of OFFRAMP at 17.

Which O–P words score highest?

OUTJUMP leads the Scrabble scores at 18 points; OFFRAMP follows at 17. Both beat the 12-point scores recorded for OVERLAP, OVERTOP, and OVERTIP, so the less familiar-looking options can pay more on an ordinary rack.

OUTJUMP’s J and OFFRAMP’s F are the scoring leverage. If a premium letter square is open, consider where that consonant lands before spending it; a strong listed score still depends on board placement. OVERLAP is the more recognizable fallback, but its score is 12.

What should you know about 7-letter words with O first and P last?

Dictionary coverage is the main limitation: Collins has 16 matches, compared with 14 in NWL2023 and 13 in ENABLE. A word accepted in one game may not work in another, so check your game's word list before committing an unfamiliar entry such as OUTROOP or OUTWEEP.

Frequency is unusually narrow here: just one of the 16 entries is among the top 25,000 English words. That makes recognition a poor filter for this pattern. Keep the less familiar forms in consideration, and use the Finder when a crossing letter rules out OVERLAP, OUTCROP, or OVERTOP.
