This pattern locks two positions and leaves five letters open. Of the 366 dictionary-qualified matches, just 36 fall among the top 25,000 English words by frequency. Familiar options such as COLLEGE and FOLLOWS stand out from a long tail of less common entries.

How many 7-letter words with O 2nd and L 4th?

There are 366 matching seven-letter words across the tournament dictionaries.
COLLEGE, FOLLOWS, DOLLARS, and ROLLING show familiar ways the pattern appears.
Only 36 matches rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency.
C is the leading first letter, with 56 matches beginning that way.
FOWLPOX scores 22 points, ahead of FOXLIKE at 21 and ZOOLOGY at 20.

Which letters appear most often at the ends?

S is the most common final letter, appearing on 125 matches. G and E follow with 46 and 45. FOLLOWS and DOLLARS make the S ending easy to recognize, but the final letter alone cannot tell you whether a candidate is a plural or a verb form.

C leads as the first letter with 56 matches; P is next with 32. When your first tile is unknown, testing C before less frequent openings gives you a stronger starting shortlist. COLLEGE and COLLECT are two familiar C examples.

Which matches should you test first?

The 7-letter words with O 2nd and L 4th do not all appear in every game dictionary. Collins contains 356 matches, NWL2023 has 261, and ENABLE has 238; those totals overlap, so they are not separate groups to add together.

For a scoring play, FOWLPOX leads this set at 22 points, with FOXLIKE at 21. High-value letters make those scores stand out, but an unfamiliar word still needs to fit your game’s dictionary. Check that before committing a play.

Questions people ask

How many common words have O second and L fourth?

There are 36 common matches with O second and L fourth. “Common” means the word ranks among the top 25,000 English words by frequency; COLLEGE and FOLLOWS are recognizable examples. Many of the remaining matches are much less familiar.

What is the highest-scoring word in this pattern?

FOWLPOX is the highest-scoring match at 22 points. FOXLIKE follows at 21, while ZOOLOGY and BOXLlKE score 20 each. Board bonuses can change a play’s total, so treat these as word scores rather than a promised final score.

Do all 366 matches work in every word game?

No, dictionary coverage differs by game. Collins has 356 matches, NWL2023 has 261, and ENABLE has 238, with overlap between those counts. Check your game’s word list before playing an unfamiliar match.
