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

The pattern fixes two slots but leaves the first letter open: B, H, and T each start six matches, while C, R, and S each start five. Familiar entries include POTLUCK, LOGBOOK, and MOLLUSK; only one word here is classed as common. A clue with O in slot two and K at the end narrows the rack more sharply than a starting-letter clue.

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

B, H, and T each begin six matches, the highest counts among the starting letters. C, R, and S each begin five. Examples include BOYCHIK, HOGBACK, and TOPKICK for the leading groups, with COSSACK and ROEBUCK showing two more opening letters.

The fixed O and final K do not force a single word shape in the middle. POLLOCK, POTLUCK, and LOGBOOK share the same two positions but build very different letter runs between them. When a crossing letter rules out one opening, check another rather than assuming the clue must start with a common prefix.

Why do many of these words look unfamiliar?

Just one match ranks among the common English words, so the full set is more useful for checking a tight pattern than for memorising everyday vocabulary. POTLUCK and MOLLUSK are recognizable options; BOYCHIK, HOMMOCK, and KOPIYOK appear near the top of the score ranking instead.

The strongest score is BOYCHIK at 21 points; HOMMOCK, JONNOCK, and KOPIYOK each score 20. The best tactical move is to verify the word before building around it: these entries are not accepted uniformly across Collins, NWL2023, and ENABLE.
