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

This pattern locks two positions while leaving the first, third, fourth, sixth, and final letters open. The total counts words accepted by at least one tournament dictionary, so the examples range from familiar forms like touched and coaches to less common choices. Just 13 matches are classed as common, making recognition a useful first filter when you are solving a clue.

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

• 169 matches fit the pattern across the tournament dictionaries counted here.
• Only 13 matches are classed as common, including somehow, monthly, roughly, and touched.
• Collins accepts 166 matches; NWL2023 accepts 129, and ENABLE accepts 117.
• C is the most frequent starting letter, with 23 words; M follows with 20.

Which final letters appear most often?

S leads the final-letter count with 47 words, followed by D with 37 and R with 23. That makes the ending a strong extra clue: if your grid shows a final S, coaches, touches, and torches are examples to test.

The examples also show how much the final letter can change the word form. Touched and coached end in D, while tougher and voucher end in R. Use the fixed O and H positions first, then compare endings against any letters your puzzle has ruled out.

Check the word list used in your game before relying on an unfamiliar entry. For a quick solve, start with recognizable matches such as somehow, roughly, or touched, then use the fixed positions to narrow the remaining choices.
