Where O and S appear

The two letters are required independently. These position counts include repeated copies in different squares; a word can contribute to more than one position.

O by position

  • first: 3 words
  • second: 28 words
  • third: 30 words
  • fourth: 14 words
  • fifth: 3 words

S by position

  • first: 31 words
  • second: 2 words
  • third: 9 words
  • fourth: 21 words
  • fifth: 15 words

16 matches contain the adjacent sequence OS; 13 contain its reverse. A word can contribute to both sequence counts if it contains both orders. The complete list also includes words where other letters separate them.

Letter frequencies in this list

Counts are calculated from the matches above. Each letter is counted once per word in the movable-letter summary; position counts refer to an exact square.

How to narrow this list

A word must include O and S, but this clue does not settle their positions. A word with only one of these letters is excluded. Repeated copies are allowed, so compare the duplicate-letter examples below if your feedback sets a limit. For a contiguous pair in a specific order, use a sequence filter instead.

16 answers repeat a letter

BOOST, BOSON, CROSS, and DROSS are among the repeated-letter choices. Words without a repeated letter include BESOM, BESOT, and CHAOS.

A gray copy of a letter does not always exclude every copy. If another copy is green or yellow, check the minimum and maximum number the feedback allows.
