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

Every match puts O in position two and H at the end, leaving five middle letters open. The results range from everyday words such as FOOLISH and NOURISH to less familiar choices such as JOCKISH and ZOOLITH. Only four entries fall among the most common English words, so expect many specialist or less familiar plays.

At a glance: the O-second, H-last pattern

• All 100 matches follow the fixed pattern _O____H.
• Only 4 entries are common by the frequency measure.
• B leads as the first letter with 11 words; D and T each have 9.
• JOCKISH and FOXFISH top the score list at 23 points apiece.

Which matching words score the most?

JOCKISH and FOXFISH share the top score at 23 points. BOXFISH follows at 22, giving you three options with X in the word while still meeting both letter clues.

DOZENTH and KOKOBEH each score 20, while ZOOLITH reaches 19. Those less familiar forms can be harder to spot than everyday examples such as HOGWASH, which scores 17, or FOPPISH, also at 17.

For a more recognizable choice, FOOLISH, BOROUGH, MONARCH, and NOURISH all fit the pattern. The list’s average score is 14.1, so the top-scoring words sit well above its typical entry.

How the 7-letter words with O second and H seventh differ

The first letters spread across several options: B starts 11 matches, D and T start 9 each, and C starts 8. That spread gives you more starting-letter choices than a pattern dominated by one initial.

Dictionary coverage is not uniform: 94 matches appear in Collins, 69 in NWL2023, and 60 in ENABLE. These totals overlap, and only four entries meet the common group, so check your game’s word list before relying on a rare form.

The ending clue makes this set notably small beside the same O-second pattern ending in G, which has 429 matches. Keep the final H fixed, then use the remaining five slots to test candidate spellings.
