7-letter words with O as the 3rd letter and O as the 7th letter

This pattern is unusually narrow: each match has O in the middle and again at the very end. AVOCADO is the sole common entry among the 14, while several others, including QUOMODO and GIOCOSO, are much less familiar. The words qualify through at least one tournament dictionary, but their coverage varies by dictionary.

7-letter words with O as the 3rd letter and O as the 7th letter

• Fourteen seven-letter words match the pattern, and every one ends in O.
• AVOCADO is the only common word in the group.
• AVOCADO, AMOROSO, and AMORINO start with A; PROVISO, PROXIMO, and PHOTINO start with P.
• CHORIZO leads the Scrabble scores at 21 points.
• The list includes familiar AVOCADO and CHORIZO alongside rarer QUOMODO and OOLOROSO.

Which matches earn the most Scrabble points?

CHORIZO is the top scorer at 21 points, followed by QUOMODO at 19 and PROXIMO at 18. Those three give you the strongest starting targets when your rack supports the full pattern.

SMOKEHO scores 16, while BRONCHO reaches 14. AVOCADO scores 13, so the best-known word is not the best scorer. Look for a way to place CHORIZO’s high-value letters on premium squares rather than choosing by familiarity alone.

The fixed final O also makes this pattern much smaller than nearby alternatives: 631 seven-letter words with O in the third position end in S, and 332 end in D. Switching the last letter can open far more plays.

How should you check dictionary coverage?

Dictionary coverage is not uniform: 9 matches appear in ENABLE, 12 in Collins, and 11 in NWL2023. The 14-word total is the union across those tournament lists, so a word accepted in one may not be accepted in another.

Use AVOCADO or CHORIZO when you want a recognizable candidate, then verify less familiar entries such as GIOCOSO or WHOSESO against your game’s word list. No single dictionary count here represents all 14 words.
