Which words have S second and O sixth?

The matches are PSYCHOS, ESPANOL, ESCUDOS, ESTRIOL, TSARDOM, PSEUDOS, ASIAGOS, ISOTRON, ESCALOP, ASSUROR, ISOCHOR, and PSAMMON. Each spelling keeps S in the second position and O in the sixth.

7-letter words with S as the 2nd letter and O as the 6th letter

For a rack puzzle, lock the known letters first, then test the remaining slots against your tiles. If the first letter is still open, scan E entries before the smaller starting groups. That simple order follows the pattern’s actual distribution instead of sending you through all 12 words at random.

For points, PSYCHOS scores 17, ahead of PSAMMON at 13 and ISOCHOR at 12. The higher-value letters help explain the spread: PSYCHOS brings both Y and H. Most matches are specialist rather than everyday vocabulary, and none is in the tracked common-word group, so check your game's word list before playing an unfamiliar entry.
