pronunciamento

This page shows 788 of the 1,028 words; the finder lists all of them and can copy them as text.

What is in this list

This list holds 1,028 words, 0.6% of the 172,634 words this site keeps from the ENABLE word list. They run from 2 to 14 letters, and the most common length is 5 letters with 221 words (21.5% of the list). The shortest are BO, DO, GO, HO, JO and LO; the longest is PRONUNCIAMENTO. Of the 12 lists in this group it is the 4th largest: “words that end in ED” leads with 13,318 and “words that end in J” has the fewest, 7. 4 words that would also fit were left out by this site's blocklist of slurs and explicit words.

Points and vowels

Using this site's letter values, the average word here scores 10.9 points (median 10); words of the same lengths across the whole list average 11.6, so this list runs 0.6 points leaner. The top scorers are SUPERJUMBO (28), PAPARAZZO (27), INTERMEZZO (26), PIZZICATO (26). Point for point, MEZZO earns the most per letter: 21 points over 5 letters, 4.2 each. O itself is worth 1 point here, so the score comes from the other letters.

Vowels (A, E, I, O, U) make up 45.6% of the letters, against 38% across the whole list. 144 words are more than half vowels. Compared with the whole dictionary, the letter most over-represented here is B: 2.6% of the letters, against 1.8% overall.

How the words are built

The letter just before the final O is most often T (14.9% of words), followed by D (9.9%). 241 words have a doubled letter (23.4%); the most common doubles are OO (71), LL (49), TT (39). The most common three-letter openings are SUP- (9, as in SUPERCARGO), CON- (8, as in CONCERTINO), CAR- (7, as in CARABAO).

Word play in this list

The biggest anagram family here is CABESTRO and CABRESTO — 2 words from the same 8 letters. Altogether 18 sets of anagrams sit inside this list, covering 36 words. It contains 3 palindromes, read the same both ways: OHO, OTTO and OXO. 3 words turn into another real word when spelled backwards — ERGO becomes OGRE, LOBO becomes OBOL, SHOO becomes OOHS. The longest word with no letter repeated is SCHERZANDO (10 different letters). COCOBOLO is the longest word here that uses only one kind of vowel, ahead of DOLOROSO.

80.4% of these words take an S on the end and stay a word (ABMHO, ABO and ACCELERANDO among them); after S, the most useful end letter is N, which extends 44 words. At the front, P turns 6 words into new ones (ARVO → PARVO); S turns 6 words into new ones (AGO → SAGO); T turns 6 words into new ones (HEREINTO → THEREINTO).

Using this list

To narrow it further, open it in the pattern finder: the rule “ends in O” is already filled in, and you can add a length, a fixed letter position or letters to leave out.
