7-letter words with O as the 3rd letter and S as the 6th letter

The fixed letters leave four open positions, but the ending still varies sharply. PROTEST finishes with T, PROMISE with E, and PROCESS with S. Across the 127 matches, only 15 rank among common English words, so familiar examples are useful anchors while solving.

7-letter words with O as the 3rd letter and S as the 6th letter

• 127 words fit the pattern, with O third and S sixth.
• Collins includes 120 matches, NWL2023 includes 91, and ENABLE includes 75; those dictionary counts overlap.
• Only 15 matches rank among the top 25,000 English words by frequency.
• PROCESS, PROMISE, and PROTEST are recognizable examples with different final letters.
• BOOKISH scores 16 points, tying the highest score shown for this pattern.

Which letters finish these O-and-S pattern words?

T is the most common final letter: 44 words end in T, including PROTEST and AGONIST. E comes next with 25, followed by H and M with 20 each. The sixth-letter S does not mean the word itself ends in S.

Just 7 of the matches finish with S. PROMISE ends in E, while PROTEST ends in T, making the final tile a strong way to separate candidates once you know the fixed positions. Other familiar fits include CLOSEST, PROPOSE, and FOOLISH.

Which 7-letter words with O third and S sixth score well?

BOOKISH, EXOTISM, and AZOTISE each score 16 points, the highest score in the ranking. WHOLISM and EXODIST follow at 15. The average score across the matches is 10.6, so these top entries stand out rather than setting the usual value.

A high score does not guarantee a familiar or accepted play. Only 75 words appear in ENABLE, compared with 120 in Collins and 91 in NWL2023; check your game's word list before playing an unfamiliar entry. Start with common fits such as PROCESS or PROMISE, then test less familiar options against your rack.
