The pattern is _ON____, and its entries range from everyday words like CONTACT and CONCERN to less familiar tournament plays. Of the 492 words, 60 fall among the top 25,000 English words by frequency. The dictionary totals differ: Collins includes 479 matches, while NWL2023 includes 376, so a word accepted in one game may not work in another.

How many 7-letter words have O second and N third?

There are 492 tournament-dictionary words matching the _ON____ pattern.
CONTROL, TONIGHT, CONTENT, CONTACT, and CONCEPT are familiar examples.
The most common first letter is C, with 125 matches beginning that way.
Words ending in S form the largest final-letter group, with 170 entries.

Which starting and ending letters are common?

C leads the opening letters with 125 words; N follows with 61, and M has 55. That makes CON- words a strong place to start when you recognize the pattern but have not fixed the first letter. Examples include CONTROL, CONDUCT, and CONTAIN.

S is the dominant ending, at 170 words, well ahead of E with 55 and T with 43. Try that final letter early if your puzzle leaves the last tile open: CONCERT and CONTEST show how varied the familiar C-starting group can be. The nearby O-R pattern has 576 matches, more than this O-N set.

Which O-N words score well in Scrabble?

JONQUIL and ZONKEYS each score 23 points before board bonuses, the highest scores for this pattern. ZONKING reaches 21, while CONFLUX and CONJURY score 19. For a rack with a J or Z, check the whole word and its placement rather than assuming the familiar CON- options are your only route.

The average score is 11, but high face value does not guarantee a playable word: dictionary coverage varies. Collins has 479 matches and NWL2023 has 376, out of 492 overall. Check your game's word list before committing to a less familiar entry; common picks such as TONIGHT and CONTACT are easier to recognize, but still follow your game's rules.
