The pattern is _O_E___, so both fixed letters narrow the search before you test the remaining slots. Familiar matches include someone, covered, and forever, but many entries are less common. Of the 284 words, 26 rank among the most common English words; the rest are better treated as game-list candidates than everyday vocabulary.

The pattern at a glance

The pattern _O_E___ matches 284 seven-letter words across tournament dictionaries.
Someone, however, and foreign are recognizable examples that fit the fixed letters.
Only 26 matches fall within the top 25,000 English words by frequency.
C leads the first-letter group with 45 words, ahead of M with 32.
Final S is most common at 66 words; final D follows with 47.

How many 7-letter words have O second and E fourth?

There are 284 matches for this pattern. The examples range from familiar words such as moments, someday, and honesty to less everyday entries such as novelty and potency. A total of 231 have definitions, but the full set is not a list of common vocabulary.

The starting letters give you a useful first split: C appears 45 times, while M appears 32 times and F appears 27 times. At the other end, S accounts for 66 words and D for 47. If your crossing letters rule out an S ending, check D before assuming the pattern has no fit.

How should you narrow the pattern?

Start with the known letters, then use a crossing or rack letter to choose an ending. Someone and foreign show how differently the same _O_E___ frame can begin; covered and powered show that a D ending is another productive route. The pattern with E as the second letter has 347 matches, so changing that one position creates a larger set.

For a score-focused play, dozenth and lozengy each score 20 points in tile values. Those are standouts, not typical scores: the average is 11.8. Check your game's word list before relying on an unfamiliar entry, since the 284 matches do not all appear in every tournament dictionary.

Use the 7-letter words with O as the 2nd letter and E as the 4th letter as a pattern filter, then verify the remaining letters against your board.
