7-letter words with O as the 2nd letter and H as the 3rd letter

The fixed pattern is _OH____: O occupies slot two and H slot three, while the other five positions remain open. C dominates the opening letter, but the endings bunch around S. This is a narrow pattern search, not a guide to familiar everyday vocabulary; use the examples and score leaders to check candidates before committing.

7-letter words with O as the 2nd letter and H as the 3rd letter

• 26 entries match the seven-letter O-H pattern.
• 12 start with C, while five start with M.
• 11 end in S; no other ending reaches that count.
• 25 are in Collins, 20 in NWL2023, and 14 in ENABLE; lists overlap.
• Mean tile score is 13.5; MOHAWKS tops the score table at 19.

Which starting and ending letters show up most?

COHABIT, COHERES, and COHOSTS show the C-heavy side of the pattern; JOHNNIE and JOHNSON shift it to J, while MOHAWKS and MOHICAN use M. Twelve of the 26 begin with C, almost half the set, so try C first when your rack permits.

The endings are even more lopsided: 11 entries finish in S, including COHORTS and COHOSTS. A, M, and N each account for three; E and T each account for two. Check whether a possible answer needs a plural-looking S before spending time on rarer final letters.

If H is fixed but the second letter is uncertain, the C-H pattern has 96 matches, compared with 26 for O-H. Keep the two constraints in the right slots when narrowing a clue.

Which O-H words score highest in Scrabble?

MOHAWKS scores 19 points, the strongest result here; JOHNSON, JOHNNIE, and YOHIMBE each score 17. BOHUNKS follows at 16, so these M-, J-, and B-starting plays outscore COHABIT at 14.

A seven-letter candidate matters in Scrabble only if it uses all seven rack tiles; that play earns the 50-point bingo bonus. Keep the bonus in mind, but do not force a word your rack or board cannot support.

Dictionary coverage is uneven: 25 entries appear in Collins, 20 in NWL2023, and 14 in ENABLE. Those totals overlap, so 26 is the union, not a promise that every game accepts each answer; check your game's word list once.
