The fixed pattern is _O__N__, so the first, third, fourth, sixth, and seventh letters remain open. Familiar examples include JOURNAL, JOURNEY, MOMENTS, COLONEL, and ROMANCE. The range runs from everyday words to specialist entries, so use the examples to get started, then check your game’s dictionary before playing an unfamiliar choice.
At a glance: count, endings, and scores
- The pattern _O__N__ matches 223 seven-letter entries across the covered tournament dictionaries.
- Just 11 matches fall among the most common English words, so expect many less familiar choices.
- JOURNAL, JOURNEY, MOMENTS, COLONEL, and ROMANCE are recognizable starting points.
- JOCKNEY leads the Scrabble scores at 23 points; DOZENTH and LOZENGY each score 20.
- A final S is the standout ending: 117 matching words finish with that letter.
Which O-and-N words score the most?
JOCKNEY is the clear score leader at 23 points before any board premiums. DOZENTH and LOZENGY follow at 20, while COZENED and JOYANCE each score 19. BONANZA, COCKNEY, ROMANZA, MOCKNEY, and COZENER make the 18-point group.
Those top scores lean on high-value letters, not just the fixed O and N. JOCKNEY uses J and K; DOZENTH adds Z. When a rack offers one of those letters, try fitting it into the open positions before settling for a familiar, lower-scoring word.
Board bonuses can change the final total.
