Could you please review your answers?

You can use Captain Ed's Spreadsheet for that purpose.

I think that the following answers are impossible:

  • psychologies : ooxxxxxx
  • psychopathic : ooooox
  • philosophies : ooooox

“Psychologies” has 6 x’s ... but ...

. “improvements” has no “x” : this eliminates the last letter, “s”

. “accommodated” has no “x” : this eliminates the next to last letter, “e”

Since “psychologies” and “psychopathic” both start with “psycho” and “psychopathic” has only one “x”, this means that 5 letters of “psycho” are not "x" either.

We’ve now eliminated 7 letters out of 12 as possible “x”, which leaves us only with 5 "x” in "psychologies"
