7-letter words with O as the 2nd letter and P as the 6th letter

Lock O into the second slot and P into the sixth, and the choices narrow quickly. The matches include familiar forms such as concept and corrupt, alongside less everyday words like zootype and joypops. One pattern stands out: most entries finish with S, while only two make the common-word cutoff; a match accepted in one tournament dictionary may not count in another.

Which endings and examples stand out?

The S ending dominates this set: hookups, gossips, mockups, lookups, holdups, and rollups all fit the pattern. Three matches end in Y, including gossipy, while E and T each appear twice as the final letter. If you know both fixed positions, an S at the end is a strong clue.

Some matches are familiar words; others are specialized or informal. Concept and corrupt are easy to recognize, while forceps names an instrument and towrope is a less common compound. The O-second, E-sixth pattern is far larger, with 1,319 matches, so the P constraint sharply narrows the search.

Which matches score highest in Scrabble?

Zootype and joypops lead the scoring list at 21 points each. Mockups scores 17, while hookups and workups each score 16. Those high values come from their letter mix, but the top scorers are less familiar than concept or corrupt.

Most entries are not everyday vocabulary: just 2 make the common-word cutoff. Dictionary coverage also varies, with 31 matches in Collins and 27 in NWL2023. Check your game's word list before building a play around an unfamiliar match; this pattern's full set is not accepted identically everywhere.
