This site is useless you need more ft words and lots of help.
Hi Lenny/Meg, I don’t think there are any other words like these, and their spelling is best explained via their morphemes: oft-often, soft-soften, but nowadays most people with Australian accents don’t say the /t/, except when speaking very formally.
softly in an informal Australian accent.
And this site is very far from useless, and anyone who thinks so has, in all probability, done nothing close to the level of effort you’ve obviously put in here, over many years, and *they* need help!
Now that I’ve thought about it, there may be many more “fts as in often,” from the informal Australian accent angle:
oftener
resoften
resoftened
resoftening
resoftens
softball
softballer
softballers
softballs
softened
softener
softeners

softens
software
softwares
unoften
yes, but they are all derived forms of ‘soft’ and ‘oft’.
