With O fixed in slot two and S in slot four, the shape is _O_S___; the other five letters stay open. That makes this clue more restrictive than a simple starting-letter search, yet the result still spans familiar words such as housing, monster, consent, and coastal. The 337 matches range from everyday terms to specialist entries, including 31 common words.

At a glance: the O-second, S-fourth pattern

  • The pattern returns 337 matches across ENABLE, Collins, and NWL2023.
  • Only 31 count as common by word-frequency rank.
  • A final S leads: 111 words end with S.
  • T is the most frequent first letter, with 41 matches.
  • The dictionary totals overlap; Collins has 330, NWL2023 219, and ENABLE 198.

Which endings are most common?

Words ending in S dominate the final position: 111 matches finish that way, compared with 43 ending in R and 34 in D. Housing, cousins, fossils, and monsoon show why that ending leads: plurals and related forms recur in this fixed-letter pattern. A final S is a clue worth testing early, but it does not guarantee the remaining letters are common.

At the front, T leads with 41, followed by B with 39 and C with 38. That spread is close enough that an uncertain first letter gives little leverage; preserve the known O and S instead of guessing a single opening. For familiar anchors, housing starts H, monster starts M, and coastal starts C.

7-letter words with O as the 2nd letter and S as the 4th letter

In the broader seven-letter pattern, O second with T fourth produces 451 matches, while O second and S fourth has 337. The same fixed O/S pattern at six letters has 232 matches, and the five-letter counterpart has 97. Those comparisons show the S slot constrains choices, but doesn't leave a tiny candidate set.

Only 31 of these entries fall among the commonest English words by frequency; ordinary examples include housing, monster, and consume. Dictionary coverage also shifts: Collins lists 330, NWL2023 219, and ENABLE 198, with overlap among lists. Treat an unfamiliar answer cautiously, since a word accepted in one game may be absent from another; check your game's word list once before challenging.

Questions people ask

How many of these seven-letter words are common?
There are 31 common words in the O-second, S-fourth group. Examples among the familiar matches include housing, monster, and coastal. The full set is much broader than everyday vocabulary, so a rare-looking match is not automatically invalid; confirm it against the word list used in your game.
Which final letter appears most often?
S is the most frequent final letter, appearing on 111 matches. R is next with 43, followed by D with 34. If your puzzle leaves the final position open, testing S first narrows the search toward a strong cluster, including words such as cousins and fossils.
Do all 337 words appear in every game dictionary?
No. The group includes words from ENABLE, Collins, and NWL2023, whose individual counts are 198, 330, and 219; those sets overlap. Since the dictionary totals overlap, they cannot be added together to get 337.
