You can use Regular Expressions to count the number of "o" occurrences in the string:

(s.match(/o/gi) || []).length 
  • g Global search
  • i Assuming you want Case-insensitive search

Then you can Array#filter()

Code:

const array = ["book", "saloon", "dog", "solomon", "cow", "cat", "tire", "window"]

const newArray = array.filter(s => (s.match(/o/gi) || []).length <= 1)

console.log(newArray)
