Lock O into the second spot and D into the fourth, and you still have 289 seven-letter options. Familiar picks include HOLDING, CONDUCT, SOLDIER, and GOODBYE; the pattern also turns up less everyday words such as WOADWAX. The counts span tournament dictionaries, so coverage differs by game: Collins includes 277 matches, while ENABLE includes 197.

The pattern at a glance

There are 289 matching words across the tournament dictionaries counted here.
Thirty matches fall within the top 25,000 English words by frequency.
HOLDING, CONDUCT, SOLDIER, and GOODBYE are recognizable seven-letter examples.
The average tile score is 11; WOADWAX and WOODWAX lead at 21 each.
The first letter H leads with 34 matches, just ahead of C with 33.

How does this pattern compare with nearby clues?

The O-second, D-fourth pattern has 289 matches. Changing the second letter to A raises the count to 350, while E gives 229 and I gives 182. So O is a productive choice, but it does not lead this set of nearby patterns.

The final letter is heavily concentrated: 118 matches end in S. By contrast, G and N finish 31 and 24 words, respectively. That makes the S ending a strong narrowing clue when the last tile is known.

Of the 289 matches, 237 have definitions available. The remaining 52 are not defined here, so don’t assume every playable entry will be familiar. Check your game’s word list when dictionary coverage matters.

Which matching words score highest?

Among 7-letter words with O as the 2nd letter and D as the 4th letter, WOADWAX and WOODWAX top the score list at 21 points apiece. WOODBOX follows at 20, giving you three high-value options with W and X in the mix.

The more familiar CONDUCT and HOLDING score closer to the group’s average of 11. A useful board tactic is to save a high-value letter for a premium square; a rare-looking word does not guarantee a high play unless the board rewards it.

Questions people ask

What are some common 7-letter words with O second and D fourth?

HOLDING, CONDUCT, SOLDIER, and GOODBYE are familiar examples that fit the pattern. The set has 30 words within the top 25,000 English words by frequency, so many of its entries are less common. Those four are good starting points when you need a recognizable match.

Which letters most often start these words?

H starts the most matches, with 34, and C is close behind at 33. G begins 24 and W begins 23. If you already know the first letter, those counts show why H and C are especially productive starting clues for this pattern.

What are the highest-scoring words in this pattern?

WOADWAX and WOODWAX score 21 points each, and WOODBOX scores 20. Those three lead the score list for this pattern. Their W and X tiles account for much of the appeal, but the value of a play still depends on the board squares available.
