Highest-scoring words

7-letter words with O as the 2nd letter and P as the 4th letter
- There are 216 matches across the tournament dictionaries.
- Company, compare, compete, and compose are recognizable examples.
- The letter C begins 64 matches; P begins 26.
- S ends 80 matches, while G ends 32 and R ends 20.
- Only 22 matches are among the most common English words.
Which starting and ending letters dominate?
C leads the starting-letter group with 64 words, more than twice P's 26. That makes company, compare, and compete useful first checks when you know only the fixed O and P positions. The pattern does not require a C, though: dolphin and topping show how different the remaining letters can be.
An S ending dominates with 80 matches; G follows at 32, then R at 20. Couples, coupons, and gospels show the S ending in familiar-looking words, while looping illustrates the sizable G group. If the last square is unknown, test S before assuming a singular noun or verb.
Which matches stand out for word games?
For Scrabble scoring, zoopery and joypops each score 21 points, while complex scores 20. Complex is the practical standout: it is familiar, fits the pattern, and scores strongly without relying on an obscure entry. Those are base word scores; board placement can change the total.
Dictionary coverage differs: Collins lists 205 matches, NWL2023 lists 158, and ENABLE lists 138. Those counts overlap, so they do not add up to the total. Some of the 216 matches will not be playable in every game, so confirm acceptance before building a move around an unfamiliar one.
