7-letter words with O as the 2nd letter and M as the 4th letter

Lock in the second and fourth letters, then fill the remaining five spaces. This pattern has a strong cluster of C-openers, a heavy S ending, and a few standout scoring options. The familiar words are easy to spot, but many matches are uncommon forms, so check your game's dictionary before committing to an unfamiliar entry.

At a glance: the O-M pattern

• 137 seven-letter entries match the O-second, M-fourth pattern in at least one tournament dictionary.
• COMMENT, COMMAND, FORMULA and HORMONE are familiar examples among the matches.
• The common-word subset contains 17 entries, so many matches are less familiar.
• S is the most frequent final letter, with 47 matches; G follows with 20.
• C starts 34 matches, more than any other starting letter.

Which dictionaries include these words?

Dictionary coverage differs: Collins includes 133 matches, NWL2023 includes 101, and ENABLE includes 93. These are overlapping totals, not separate groups, so the overall count is 137 rather than their sum.

That gap matters in tournament play. A word accepted in Collins might not appear in your North American list, and the less familiar entries are especially worth checking. COMMENT and COMMAND are recognizable examples; a rare form should not get the same automatic trust.

7-letter words with O as the 2nd letter and M as the 4th letter

For 7-letter words with O as the 2nd letter and M as the 4th letter, BOOMBOX and COMMIXT lead the listed Scrabble scores at 20 points each. ZOOMING scores 19, while ZOOMERS and WORMFLY score 18. Those strong totals come from the letters in the words, before any board-square bonuses.

A practical solve starts with the fixed frame: _ O _ M _ _ _. Try familiar anchors such as FORMULA, HORMONE, or TORMENT, then use the final letter to narrow the remaining choices. S is a particularly productive ending, but it does not guarantee that a candidate is common or accepted in your game.
