7-letter words with O as the 2nd letter and C as the 7th letter

The pattern is _O____C: O occupies slot two, and C closes every match. Familiar examples include ROBOTIC, COMEDIC, and NOMADIC; OOLITIC and BORACIC are less likely to come up in casual play. Just 3 matches rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency, so this is a pattern where a strong board fit may matter more than everyday familiarity.

What stands out in the _O____C pattern?

• The pattern yields 46 matches, and every word ends in C.
• ENABLE accepts 40 matches, Collins accepts 45, and NWL2023 accepts 43.
• Only 3 entries rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency.
• TOXEMIC scores 18 points, the highest total among these examples.
• M starts 8 matches; C and P each start 6.

Which words fit O second and C last?

ROBOTIC, COMEDIC, NOMADIC, and BOTANIC make the pattern easy to recognize. SOMATIC, MORONIC, and POLITIC also fit, while POLEMIC and HOMERIC are further possibilities when familiar choices do not fit your crossing letters.

Many examples end in -ic, but that ending is not required: POSTDOC and MOLLUSC also match. The fixed final C makes this group much smaller than the O-second pattern ending in S, which has 1,672 matches. If C is confirmed in the last square, keep the other five positions open until your crossings narrow them.

Which matches carry the strongest scores?

The less familiar options can pay off when their higher-value letters land on premium squares, but only 3 matches are common by frequency.

• MORPHIC is the next-highest scorer at 16 points.

• Check your game's word list before playing a rare term.
