Words starting with S, then O, then O, ending in S

611 words fit this spine. The 240 most recognizable are listed below, longest and commonest first. They start with S, end with S, and contain O then O in that order in between — not necessarily side by side.

Near misses
  • sabbath doesn't fit: it starts with S but ends with H, not S.
  • sabers doesn't fit: it has the right ends but no O in the middle.
  • sailboats doesn't fit: it has every letter of SOOS but they don't appear in order inside it.
