Lock in the second and fifth tiles, then scan the remaining positions: the pattern is _O__L__. POPULAR, COMPLEX, TOTALLY, and COUPLES are familiar examples, while the full set reaches well beyond everyday vocabulary. Only 27 entries fall among the top 25,000 English words by frequency, so expect a mix of common plays and specialist dictionary choices.

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

  • The combined tournament-dictionary set contains 327 words matching _O__L__.
  • Collins includes 320 matches, compared with 245 in NWL2023 and 218 in ENABLE.
  • POPULAR, COMPLEX, TOTALLY, and COUPLES are recognizable examples.
  • S is the most common final letter, appearing in 106 matches; D follows with 62.
  • MOZZLES leads the tile-score ranking at 27 points.

Which words are easiest to recognize?

Start with familiar forms such as POPULAR, TOTALLY, LOCALLY, and LOYALTY. The pattern also catches related-looking entries: COUPLES and COUPLED differ only at the end, while DOUBLES and DOUBLED follow the same contrast. Those examples make the final positions easier to test without changing O in position two or L in position five.

The first letter narrows the field quickly: C begins 49 matches and M begins 38, ahead of T with 29. At the other end, 106 words finish in S, making plural forms and other S endings the largest single group. Check the final tile before rejecting a candidate.

Which matching words score the most?

MOZZLES scores 27 points on the tile values, followed by SOZZLED at 26 and NOZZLES and SOZZLES at 25 each. COMPLEX reaches 20, so the strongest plays often come from Z rather than from the pattern’s fixed O and L. Board bonuses can change the result; these are base tile scores.

Dictionary coverage is not identical: Collins has 320 matches, while NWL2023 has 245. A word accepted in one list may not appear in another, so check your game’s word list before challenging a play. The 327 total is a combined count, not the sum of those overlapping dictionary sets.

Questions people ask

How many 7-letter words have O second and L fifth?
There are 327 matching words in the combined tournament-dictionary set. POPULAR, COMPLEX, and TOTALLY are familiar examples, but only 27 matches rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency. The pattern is broader than its everyday vocabulary suggests.
What is the highest-scoring word with O second and L fifth?
MOZZLES scores 27 points on the tile values, ahead of SOZZLED at 26. NOZZLES and SOZZLES each score 25. Those totals are base tile scores, so premium squares can raise a play’s board score.
Which final letter is most common in these words?
S is the most common final letter, appearing in 106 matches; D is next with 62. That makes words ending in S a strong place to look when the last tile is unknown, though the pattern also includes words ending in R, T, and Y.
