The pattern is _O___A_: O sits in the second slot, A in the sixth, and five letters remain open. You’ll see familiar choices such as popular, journal, and holiday alongside rarer game words. Of the 296 matches, 21 are among the most common English words, so the full set is much broader than everyday vocabulary.

At a glance: the shape of this word set

There are 296 seven-letter matches for O in position two and A in position six.
Only 21 matches fall among the most common English words, so expect plenty of uncommon entries.
C leads as the first letter, with 57 words; T follows with 22.
S is the most frequent final letter, ending 71 words; N ends 49.
The average tile score is 12 points before board bonuses.

Which letters start and end these words?

C is a clear leader at the front: 57 matches begin with C, more than twice the 22 beginning with T. Familiar C words include coastal, conceal, comical, conical, and cordial. That cluster gives you a strong first-letter guess when the fixed O and A are already known.

At the other end, S leads with 71 words, followed by N at 49. Examples such as holidays and postmans show how an S ending can form a plural, while journal and foreman illustrate the N group.

The fixed pattern does not point to one word family: popular, someday, roadway, and soybean share the same O and A positions but differ in their openings and endings. Check each known tile against both ends instead of assuming the answer must be a familiar adjective.

Which matches score well, and what should you watch for?

Lockjaw and jojobas each score 23 points on a standard letter-value tally, far above the set’s average of 12. Those are scoring standouts, not everyday vocabulary. For more recognizable options, workday scores 18, while popular and holiday are easier to spot in ordinary reading.

The 296 matches are the union of words accepted by the tournament dictionaries, not a promise that every entry works in every game. Dictionary coverage differs, and the 21 common words make up only a small slice. Check your game’s word list before relying on an unfamiliar answer.

For this clue, 7-letter words with O as the 2nd letter and A as the 6th letter are a pattern filter, not a definition or a guarantee of common usage.
