Pattern Notes
The doubled O is the signature of this pattern, and it shows up in LOOKS, BOOKS and GOODS. Most of the familiar words open with a consonant. The fifth box is most often S, Y and E, which makes it the quickest place to settle the ending.
How to Narrow It Down
Begin with B, G and M in the first box, because they open the largest groups. After that, test S in the fifth box, since it is the single most common final letter here. The fixed O and O do a lot of the work, so spend your guesses on the three open boxes. For a wider view, see 5 letter words with O as the 2nd letter and 5 letter words with O as the 3rd letter.
Playing This Pattern in Word Games
In Scrabble, O is worth one point and O is worth one point. Words like LOOKS, BOOKS and GOODS are handy to remember when you hold both of these letters.
