The fixed letters leave five open positions, and the resulting words range from NOTHING and NOWHERE to less familiar entries such as KOLHOZY. The ending is especially revealing: S is the most common final letter, while B leads the starting letters. Only 4 matches count as common, while S closes 33 entries; most are better approached as pattern candidates than familiar vocabulary.

7-letter words with O as the 2nd letter and H as the 4th letter

  • 114 tournament-dictionary entries match the pattern, with O second and H fourth.
  • Only 4 matches count as common words; NOTHING and NOWHERE are recognizable examples.
  • 33 words end in S, compared with 15 ending in D.
  • B starts 17 matches, ahead of C and P, which each start 14.

Which words fit the O-and-H pattern?

NOTHING, NOWHERE, MOTHERS, and BOTHERs show how different the open letters can be. Each keeps O in position two and H in position four, but the words range from everyday vocabulary to less common forms.

The starting-letter spread has a clear leader: B begins 17 entries, while C and P each begin 14. Examples include BOYHOOD, BOWHEAD, COCHLEA, and POTHOLE, so the pattern does not belong to just one word family.

The final-letter figures tilt even more sharply. S closes 33 matches, more than twice the 15 ending in D; MOTHERS, BOTHERs, and GOPHERS illustrate the S-ending group.

Which matching word scores highest?

KOLHOZY tops the Scrabble scores at 26 points. JODHPUR and FOXHOLE each score 20, while GOSHAWK and JOSHING reach 18. The average score across these entries is 13.8, so the standout score comes from a less familiar word rather than an everyday choice.

The dictionary coverage is broad but not identical: Collins includes 111 matches, NWL2023 has 80, and ENABLE has 72. Those totals overlap, and only 4 words are common, so check your game's word list before relying on an obscure entry.

Questions people ask

How many 7-letter words have O second and H fourth?
There are 114 matching seven-letter words. Every entry places O in the second position and H in the fourth, leaving the other five letters open. Only 4 matches count as common, so familiar examples such as NOTHING and NOWHERE are a small part of the set.
What is the highest-scoring word in this pattern?
KOLHOZY is the highest-scoring match at 26 points. JODHPUR and FOXHOLE follow at 20 points each, while GOSHAWK and JOSHING score 18. The top score belongs to an uncommon-looking word, so knowing the pattern alone does not guarantee an easy play.
Do these words appear in every major game dictionary?
No, dictionary coverage differs. Collins has 111 matches, NWL2023 has 80, and ENABLE has 72; these counts overlap rather than adding up to 114. Confirm a word in the dictionary used by your game, especially when playing an unfamiliar entry.
