Lock the pattern as _ O _ T _ _ _: O is the second tile and T is the fourth. Familiar fits include CONTROL, CONTENT, CONTACT, CONTEST, and PORTION, while the full set spans tournament-dictionary entries. Only 50 matches count as common, so expect less familiar options alongside everyday vocabulary.

At a glance: the O-and-T pattern

  • 451 entries fit _O_T___ across the tournament dictionaries.
  • CONTROL, CONTENT, CONTACT, and CONTEST are familiar examples.
  • P begins 72 matches, ahead of C at 62 and M at 37.
  • S ends 148 matches; G ends 56 and E ends 49.

How many seven-letter words have O second and T fourth?

Exactly 451 seven-letter entries match the pattern, including CONTROL, CONTENT, CONTACT, CONTEXT, and DOCTORS. The first letter varies widely: P supplies 72 matches, C supplies 62, and M supplies 37. That gives you several starting-letter branches when a clue fixes only O and T.

Endings are less evenly spread. S closes 148 words, while G closes 56 and E closes 49; examples include DOCTORS, BOTTLES, and POSTERS. Treat a final S as a strong candidate, not a certainty: the set also contains many other endings.

Do O-second, T-fourth words score well?

Some score especially well, but dictionary choice changes the usable pool: Collins has 441 matches, NWL2023 has 321, and ENABLE has 289. The overall 451 counts entries appearing in at least one tournament list, not words shared by every game. Check your game's word list before playing an unfamiliar entry.

Only 50 matches count as common, despite 351 having definitions. CONTROL and CONTENT are familiar anchors; the less familiar ZOOTAXY scores 26 Scrabble points. A large tournament list does not mean every answer will feel familiar.

ZOOTOMY and ZOOTYPE score 21, while POSTFIX and HOATZIN score 19. Those are base word scores, not guaranteed turn totals: premium squares can change the result. Familiar words such as CONTENT sit beside specialized entries with higher letter values.

Questions people ask

Which common words match O second and T fourth?
CONTROL, CONTENT, CONTACT, CONTEXT, and CONTEST are familiar matches. The set has 50 words classified as common, so everyday choices form only part of the full group. For less familiar options, check the word list used in your game before playing.
What is the highest-scoring word in this pattern?
ZOOTAXY is the highest scorer at 26 Scrabble points. ZOOTOMY and ZOOTYPE each score 21, while POSTFIX and HOATZIN score 19. Board premiums change a play's total, so treat these as base word scores rather than guaranteed turn totals.
Why do dictionary counts differ for these words?
Collins contains 441 matches, compared with 321 in NWL2023 and 289 in ENABLE. The overall count is 451 because it includes entries present in at least one tournament dictionary. A word accepted in one list may not be playable in another, so check your game's rules.
