The pattern is _ O _ _ _ _ R, and its 390 matches range from everyday words such as popular and forever to less familiar options. Just 33 are common by frequency, so start with recognizable choices when a puzzle calls for a real word. For word games, dictionary coverage and the unusual scoring standouts matter as much as the raw count.

At a glance: the O-and-R pattern

  • All 390 matches end in R, with O fixed in the second position.
  • C leads the opening letters with 53 words; B and P each start 36.
  • JODHPUR and JOCKIER top the scoring list at 20 points apiece.
  • The Collins list contains 381 matches, compared with 285 in NWL2023.
  • Only 33 matches rank among the common words by frequency.

Which O-second, R-ending words are easiest to spot?

Start with however, popular, forever, younger, and counter. These familiar words show how varied the pattern can be: an adverb, an adjective, and several everyday nouns all fit the same letter slots. Monster, founder, soldier, and monitor are other recognizable options when you need to test the final R.

The frequency split is a useful reality check: only 33 of the 390 matches are common. The list also includes forms such as tougher, boozier, and modular, alongside specialist or less familiar entries. In a timed game, try known vocabulary first instead of assuming every valid-looking arrangement will come to mind.

How do dictionary coverage and scores change your choices?

The total is a union across tournament dictionaries, not a promise that every game accepts every word. Collins includes 381 matches, while NWL2023 has 285 and ENABLE has 260. Those sets overlap, so their counts should not be added together; check your game's word list when a candidate matters.

For a scoring play, JODHPUR and JOCKIER each score 20 points; WOOZIER, FOOZLER, and TOWZIER score 19. CONQUER reaches 18 and is a more recognizable high scorer. The average score is 10.9, while C is the most common opening letter, appearing in 53 matches.
