The pattern is _OO____: the two O tiles are fixed, while the first letter and final four letters vary. Familiar matches include LOOKING and COOKING, but only 37 entries rank among common English words. The full set also ranges across tournament dictionaries, so a word that fits the pattern may not be accepted in every game.

7-letter words with O as the 2nd and 3rd letters at a glance

The pattern has 502 matches across the tournament word lists.
LOOKING, COOKING, FOOTAGE, and GOODBYE are recognizable examples.
Only 37 matches are among the most common English words.
S is the leading final letter, appearing on 182 matches.

Which letters start the most _OO words?

B starts 61 matches, ahead of W at 50 and M at 44; H follows with 40. When the first tile is unknown, those are productive letters to check before narrowing the remaining slots.

The examples show several familiar word families: LOOKING, BOOKING, and BOOKLET share the opening BOOK or LOOK pattern, while COOLING and COOLEST begin with COO. NOODLES and ROOFTOP offer different ways to use the same two fixed O tiles.

How do endings and Scrabble scores vary?

S is the clear leader at the end, with 182 matches; G comes next at 71, then R at 53. That makes plural-looking forms such as COOKIES and NOODLES common examples, but the pattern is not limited to words ending in S: LOOKING, FOOTAGE, and GOODBYE finish differently.

For a score-focused play, ZOOTAXY is the standout at 26 points, followed by ZOOZOOS at 25. WOOZILY and ZOOGAMY each score 22. These are less familiar than LOOKING or COOKING, so confirm your game's dictionary before building a play around one.

Dictionary coverage differs: Collins includes 481 matches, while NWL2023 includes 353 and ENABLE includes 293. The total counts words appearing in at least one of those lists, not words shared by all three.

For a tighter search, compare the 7-letter words with O as the 2nd and 3rd letters against the six-letter pattern: that shorter set has 317 matches. The seven-letter set is also exactly tied with the R-and-O position pattern at 502.

Questions people ask

How many 7-letter words have OO in the middle?

There are 502 seven-letter matches with O in both the second and third positions. LOOKING, COOKING, FOOTAGE, and GOODBYE are familiar examples; only 37 matches are classified as common English words.

Which word with OO in positions 2 and 3 scores the most?

ZOOTAXY is the top scorer at 26 points. ZOOZOOS follows at 25, while WOOZILY and ZOOGAMY each score 22. Check the word list used by your game before playing an unfamiliar high-scoring entry.

Are all 502 words accepted in Collins and NWL2023?

No. Collins contains 481 of these matches, and NWL2023 contains 353; the overall 502 count combines words present in at least one tournament dictionary. A word accepted in one list may be absent from another.
