7-letter words with O as the 2nd letter and F as the 5th letter

Forty-six matches fit the seven fixed slots: _ O _ _ F _ _. Collins lists all 46, compared with 29 in ENABLE and 30 in NWL2023. Those totals overlap, so the dictionary split is about acceptance, not three separate word piles. Only two entries qualify as common by frequency, making familiar examples the exception rather than the rule.
