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

That O _ _ _ _ _ P frame produces a sharply mixed set: just 4 entries count as common, while Collins, NWL2023, and ENABLE accept different totals. C begins 8 matches and R begins 6, so the opening letter quickly narrows a rack search. Familiar endings such as -shop, -top, and -ship make several candidates recognizable, but unusual forms account for much of the scoring headroom.

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

• 31 tournament-dictionary matches fit O _ _ _ _ _ P.
• C is the leading first letter, with 8 matches; R follows with 6.
• Collins accepts all 31; NWL2023 lists 27 and ENABLE lists 21.
• Only 4 matches count as common words.
• FOXSHIP leads the scoring table at 22 points.

Which O-second, P-final words score highest?

FOXSHIP tops the Scrabble scoring group at 22, followed by COMSYMP at 18. COWFLOP and COWFLAP each score 17, while WORKTOP, COWPLOP, and COPSHOP each reach 16.

That puts surprising FOXSHIP ahead of recognizable WORKTOP and WORSHIP. WORSHIP and COOKTOP are 15-point alternatives when the 22-point play will not fit.

Keep the F and X together when a premium square lets both letters earn; FOXSHIP's value comes from its high-value letters, not merely its seven-letter length.

The score advantage comes with a catch: 26 words have definitions, but only 4 are common. Several entries are unusual, so a strong rack fit does not guarantee an opponent will know the word.

Which familiar words fit the O-to-P pattern?

ROOFTOP, NONSTOP, ROUNDUP, COVERUP, COOKTOP, and WORSHIP are easy anchors: each keeps the fixed O and final P while using a recognizable compound or word ending. Add ROSEHIP, TOYSHOP, and TOUCHUP when those first examples do not settle the clue.

The first-letter split gives a practical scan order: check C words first, then R, since those openings account for 8 and 6 matches. That narrows the search without relying on the less familiar candidates.

Dictionary coverage differs: Collins includes 31 matches, compared with 27 in NWL2023 and 21 in ENABLE. Check the word list your game uses before challenging an unfamiliar play such as COMSYMP or FOXSHIP.
